Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a rare inflammatory disorder that features slowly progressive, asymmetric distal limb weakness. Leonard van den Berg and colleagues describe the diagnostic criteria for MMN, which are important for distinguishing this disease from mimic disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The authors also discuss the pathophysiology of MMN, emphasizing the role of GM1-specific autoantibodies, and outline current treatment options and possible new therapeutic strategies.
