1Department of Neurology, The George Washington University Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA.
Abstract:
Diagnosing peripheral neuropathies continues to be a challenge. Many potential etiologies exist and must be evaluated for those patients in whom the underlying cause of the neuropathy is unclear. The clinician must determine the tests that are appropriate given the clinical and laboratory findings and the extent of investigation that is warranted before diagnosing the neuropathy as idiopathic. A practical diagnostic approach for the non-neuromuscular neurologist is presented as the first installment of a 3-part review on evaluating peripheral neuropathies.
