ImagingStudies
Standard radiographs and computed tomography have little role in the characterization of
neuropathies because of the inabilityto directlyvisualize nerves. Thetypical modalities to
imageperipheralnerveinjuryaremainlyultrasound(US)andMRI.

IndividualNerveInjuries
CommonPeronealNerve
Table 6-4 lists common activities associated with injury of the peroneal nerve. Although
frequently asymptomatic, peroneal neuropathy is a common complication of ankle injuries.
Using electrodiagnostic studies, Nitz et al. found that 17% of patients with grade II ankle
sprainsand86% withgradeIIIsprainshad evidenceofsubclinical motorimpairmentinthe
peroneal nerve.72 Symptomatic ankle dorsiflexion and eversion weakness results from

leadingtointernalhemorrhageandischemia.Aftersuchinjury,paralysisisusuallyimmediate,
butcanbe delayed forseveral days. Baccari etal. reported sixcases of delayed paralysis
because of peroneal nerve injury following ankle sprain by up to 3 days.73 Patients with

Morton’s neuroma is a well-known cause of impingement of the interdigital nerves.
Although the name implies a nerve tumor, histologic analysis reveals fibrosis and
demyelination instead. It is suspected that repetitive dorsiflexion of the toes against the
transversemetatarsal ligamentcauses nervetrauma andsubsequentfibrosis. Inflammationof

Treatment
Once the diagnosis is established, intervention should focus on minimizing further injury,
treating symptoms, and accelerating recovery. Acute ankle and foot trauma may require
surgery. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used acutely as adjuvant or primary therapy to
decreaseedemaandinflammation.

AxonalPredominantNeuropathies
Axonal polyneuropathies are predominately manifestations of systemic disease. The most
commonisdiabetesmellitus,characterizedbydistalsymmetricsensoryloss,paresthesias,and
autonomic dysfunction (commonly postural hypotension or gastroparesis). Critical illness
polyneuropathy is common in critically ill patients, frequently presenting as weakness and
inability to wean from the ventilator. Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions can also
produceaxonalneuropathies.ExamplesincludeSjögrendisease,scleroderma,variousmixed
connective tissuedisorders, sarcoidosis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Infectious
https://t.me/medicina_free

causesinclude leprosy, Lyme disease, diphtheria, andHIV.84 Other systemic conditionsthat
lead to axonal peripheral neuropathy include lymphoproliferative disorders (multiple
myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, lymphoma, other plasmacytomas) and
endocrinopathiessuchashypothyroidism,whichpresentsascarpaltunnelsyndromeorsensory
neuropathywithpainfulparesthesias.
Toxinexposurecanalsoleadtoaxonalneuropathy.Themostcommonexampleisalcohol.
Othersincludemercury,lead,arsenic,thallium,andhexa-carbons.Taxane,platinum,orvinca
alkaloid–basedchemotherapyhasantimicrotubuleeffectsthatareparticularlytoxictoaxons.
85
Onsetandtime course vary depending on intensityand duration of exposure. Mostpatients
present with sensory and motor symptoms, but some toxins lead to primarily sensory
neuropathies (pyridoxine, oxaliplatin, cisplatin), whereas others are primarily motor
neuropathies (dapsone). Some toxins affect both the axon and myelin, including
aurothioglucose,suramin,paclitaxel,amiodarone,andvincristine.
Othercausesofaxonal neuropathyinclude vitaminor nutritional deficiencies (B12, B6,
B1,E,niacin,copper),environmentalexposures(coldandhypoxemia),andraremitochondrial
disorders (Charcot–Marie–Tooth [CMT] type 2A and syndrome of neuropathy, ataxia, and
retinitispigmentosa).
86
Axonal peripheral neuropathies have predominantly sensorimotor involvement, though

DemyelinatingPredominantNeuropathies
Demyelinatingpolyneuropathiesarebroadlyclassifiedintotwocategories,acuteandchronic
inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies (AIDP andCIDP, respectively), dependingon
whethersymptomspersist>2months.AIDPisotherwiseknownasGuillain–Barrésyndrome

Diagnosis is made based on history andsupportive diagnostic studies including lumbar

be helpful in the diagnosis of CIDP. When CIDP is suspected, paraproteinemia and other
alternativeetiologiesshouldbeexcluded.
Chronic demyelinating neuropathies are commonly a manifestation of systemic disease.
These diseases include monoclonal gammopathies, paraneoplastic syndromes (anti-CV2),
celiac disease, andIBD.87 Notably, anadditional demyelinating component can be seen in
diabetes. Certain toxin exposures can cause demyelinating neuropathy, including n-hexane,
thalidomide,andarsenic.

characterized by severe motor weakness. Common metabolic diseases of childhood can
present with a demyelinating neuropathy, including Krabbe disease, metachromatic
leukodystrophy,andadrenoleukodystrophy.
Treatments
For axonal polyneuropathies, treatment is focused on the underlying disease, that is, tight
glucose control in diabetes or avoiding toxins in exposure cases. For demyelinating
polyneuropathy,inautoimmunecases,IVIGorPLEXisusuallyhelpful,butitisalsocrucialto
treattheunderlyingdiseaseifpossible.InCIDP,steroidscanalsobeofhelp.Forrefractory
CIDP, alternative immunomodulatory agentscanbe used such asazathioprine,cyclosporine,
mycophenolatemofetil,methotrexate,andrituximab.
There are many waystotreatneuropathic pain.Gammaaminobutyricacid (GABA)ergic
agentssuchasgabapentinorpregabalin(notethattheydonotactdirectlyonGABAreceptors
but rather on voltage-gated calcium channels) and tricyclic antidepressants are first line.
Second-lineagentsincludecertainantiepileptics(carbamazepine,lamotrigine) andserotonin
norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Third-line agents are a mix of nonsteroidal antiinflammatories, capsaicin,baclofen,andlow-dosenarcotics.Manypatientsrequiremultiple
agents of various drug classes. In these cases, referral to a pain management specialist is
recommended.
