The objective of the present study was to assess muscle quantity of the thigh and leg in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) compared to age and sex matched controls in exploring length-dependent changes of innervated muscles. In five people with CIDP and seven controls, magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess muscle morphology of the four parts of the quadriceps and medial hamstring muscles. Findings were compared to the triceps surae from a subset of participants. The CIDP group had less contractile tissue in the quadriceps (11.5%, P<0.05), hamstrings (15.6%, P<0.05) and triceps surae (35.9%, P<0.05) compared to controls. Additionally, CIDP had less contractile tissue (18.7%) in the triceps surae compared to the hamstrings (P<0.05). Muscle quantity in the quadriceps and hamstrings in CIDP was less than controls, but differences were greater for the distal triceps surae. These findings support a length-dependent affect of CIDP on limb musculature composition.
