Abstract

 Peripheral neuropathy occurs as a component of several common and rare diseases. It is heterogeneous in cause, diverse in pathology, and varied in severity. The term peripheral neuropathy includes symmetric polyneuropathy, single and multiple mononeuropathy, and radiculopathy. The major disorders include diabetic neuropathy, alcoholic neuropathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The incidence of cancer chemotherapy-induced neuropathy has been increasing substantially. Although the estimated prevalence of all different peripheral neuropathies is considerably high, possibly affecting 10% of the entire population, there is no existing systematic epidemiological study on all the aspects of peripheral nerve disorders. Neurologists should contribute to both fundamental and symptomatic treatments of patients seen in other sections. The important symptomatic therapies include treatments for neuropathic pain and autonomic dysfunction. There is increasing role for neurologists in treating HIV-related and anti-HIV drug-induced neuropathy. More active collaboration with neurologists, oncologists, and general physicians is necessary to improve the quality of life in patients with peripheral nerve disorders.
