Symptoms, Signs and Syndromes

As with so many studies requiring close clinicopathological correlation and specialised techniques, many of the major contributions to peripheral nevre pathology have been made by clinicians rather than pathologists. As a result, the general pathologist has tended to ignore many of the recent advances in peripheral nerve pathology and trainees in pathology often fail to appreciate that with relatively simple techniques, much information can be gained from the histological study of peripheral nerves.
