Biopsy Diagnosis of Peripheral Neuropathy
Juan M Bilbao
Biopsy Diagnosis of Peripheral Neuropathy - 2nd Edition, illustrated, revised - Sunnybrook and St Michael’s Hospitals University of Toronto Toronto , ON Canada Springer 2014 - 486 pages
Contents
Peripheral Neuropathy and the Role of Nerve Biopsy
Normal Anatomy of the Peripheral Sural Nerve
Quantitative Techniques
The Axon Normal Structure and Pathological Alterations
Schwann Cells and Myelin in the Peripheral Nervous System
The Peripheral Nerve Vasculature
Examination of the Peripheral Nerve Biopsy
Clinical Aspects of Peripheral Neuropathy
Leprous Neuropathy
Vasculitic Neuropathy
Dysproteinemic Neuropathies
Amyloid Neuropathy
Neuropathy Associated with Neoplasia
Neuropathy Associated with Endocrine and Metabolic Disease
Toxic Neuropathies
Genetically Determined Neuropathies
The Inflammatory Demyelinating Neuropathies
Idiopathic Inflammatory Neuropathies
Infectious Diseases Causing Neuropathy
Storage Diseases
Unclassified Neuropathies and Mimics
Peripheral nerve analysis is a challenging task for pathologists, given the advent of new diagnoses and techniques of analysis and the impact of molecular genetics. This book presents a simple, logical method for constructing a differential diagnosis based on pathology and clinical presentation. It also provides advice on the selection of ancillary molecular, immunohistochemical and genetic techniques to establish a definitive diagnosis. Clear, authoritative guidance is offered on diagnosis of the full range of neuropathies with the aid of a wealth of high-quality color photomicrographs and electron micrographs. The pathologist will benefit greatly from the identification of a variety of artifacts and normal structures occasionally encountered in nerve biopsies that need to be distinguished from specific pathologic alterations. This user-friendly, practical text will be an invaluable aid in achieving the most specific diagnosis possible.
