Inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is a rare but devastating condition. Guillain-Barré syndrome is the most common cause with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy being the most common subtype that follows a monophasic course and does not recur. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy occurs when symptoms persist for greater than 8 weeks. With many proposed etiologies, few reports have described acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy after total joint arthroplasty. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy developing after total hip arthroplasty that was further complicated by dislocation.
