Serious Symptoms Of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

Double Vision

Diplopia is a term used to describe when an individual sees a double image of a single object. It is also called double vision. The two different images an affected individual sees can be one on top of the other, side by side, or both. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy can cause damage to the nerves in the brain responsible for the transmission of visual information or the nerves responsible for operating the muscles that control the movements of the eyes. In a healthy individual, the nerves in the peripheral and central nervous systems are protected by a fatty substance referred to as myelin. This myelin sheath helps the nerves conduct impulses better. The myelin sheath around the nerves in a chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy patient becomes damaged and breaks down. When this malfunction affects the muscles responsible for eye movement, the affected individual may experience double vision.
