Abstract
Nodoparanodopathy is a recent concept in the field of peripheral neuropathy, corresponding to peripheral nerve disorders stemming from an autoimmune attack directed and limited to the nodal region. This concept was identified using modern techniques of electrophysiology, immunology, and pathology (including electron microscopy). We present here what we believe to be the earlier well-documented case of nodoparanodopathy in the medical literature, based on an article written by Samuel Gilbert Webber (1838-1926) in 1884.
