Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy is a progressive, disabling, and rare disease, which requires greater understanding for a better propaedeutic and therapeutic approach, providing a better quality of life to the patient. The aim of this study is to report the case of a patient 48-year-old male patient seen in a Basic Health Unit with a complaint of loss of movement of the 4th and 5th fingers of both hands, associated with loss of upper limb strength for two months. The patient was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy by a specialized service and started treatment with immunoglobulin. He is currently clinically stable and on methylprednisolone. The current treatment is based on the reduction of the inflammatory process and consequent improvement of symptoms. However, there is no robust evidence indicating the better therapeutic regimen among the available options.
