Acute and chronic neuropathies

A detailed history, examination, nerve conduction tests and appropriate laboratory investigations will be diagnostic in most peripheral neuropathies. It is important to identify treatable causes. Guillain –Barré syndrome, vasculitic neuropathy, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and multifocal motor neuropathy can have good outcomes with immunomodulation. In addition, hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis neuropathy is now a treatable disorder.
