Abstract

Contactin-associated protein-like 2 autoimmunity is an uncommon disorder resulting in peripheral nerve hyperexcitability or encephalitis. In a fifth of cases, onset may be provoked by thymoma, but other associations are largely unknown. We report a patient with anti-contactin-associated protein-like 2-related peripheral nerve hyperexcitability arising in the setting of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4F and discuss potential mechanisms underlying the association.
