Description Symptoms: The most common symptom is severe, burning, aching pain in the feet and legs, which may prevent walking. ( BALA Variations: GMHC Sensory Neuropathy. The most common type of neuropathy associated with AIDS is called distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN). This syndrome is a result of the degeneration of the nerves responsible for conducting impulses, and is characterized by numbness and a sensation of pins and needles. DSPN causes few serious abnormalities and mostly results in numbness or tingling of the feet and slowed reflexes at the ankles. It generally occurs with more severe immunosuppression and is steadily progressive. Treatment with tricyclic antidepressants, such as Elavil, relieves symptoms but does not affect the underlying nerve damage. AIDP/CIDP.

Therapy for peripheral neuropathy differs depending on the cause. For example, therapy for peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes involves control of the diabetes. In cases where a tumor or ruptured disc is the cause, therapy may involve surgery to remove the tumor or to repair the ruptured disc. In entrapment or compression neuropathy treatment may consist of splinting or surgical decompression of the ulnar or median nerves. Peroneal and radial compression neuropathies may require avoidance of pressure. Physical therapy and/or splints may be useful in preventing contractures (a condition in which shortened muscles around joints cause abnormal and sometimes painful positioning of the joints).

ANN NOELLE PONCELET, M.D diagnosis of a patient with peripheral neuropathy is presented, based on important elements http://www.aafp.org/afp/980215ap/poncelet.html

Advanced Search Articles Departments Patient Information An Algorithm for the Evaluation of Peripheral Neuropathy ANN NOELLE PONCELET, M.D., University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California The diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies can be frustrating, time consuming and costly. Careful clinical and electrodiagnostic assessment, with attention to the pattern of involvement and the types of nerve fibers most affected, narrows the differential diagnosis and helps to focus the laboratory evaluation. An algorithmic approach to the evaluation and differential diagnosis of a patient with peripheral neuropathy is presented, based on important elements of the clinical history and physical examination, the use of electromyography and nerve conduction studies, autonomic testing, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and nerve biopsy findings. The underlying cause of axonal neuropathies can frequently be treated; demyelinating neuropathies are generally managed with the assistance of a neurologist. T he incidence of peripheral neuropathy is not known, but it is a common feature of many systemic diseases. Diabetes and alcoholism are the most common etiologies of peripheral neuropathy in adults living in developed countries. The primary worldwide cause of treatable neuropathy is leprosy.

11. Peripheral Neuropathy And Amyloidosis Ask the doctor medical forum for patients hosted by Med Help. http://www.medhelp.org/perl6/neuro/archive/10656.html

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Subject: Peripheral Neuropathy and Amyloidosis Topic Area: Amyloidosis Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By: Clara on Monday, October 26, 1998 You may have come up with something which explains your problems and it is VERY important that you share this information with bothof your physicians. Amyloidosis is a disease in which abnormal protein polymers or aggregates are laid dowm in multiple organs, it usually occurrs in response to chronic infection or inflammation and given your history of chronic hepatitis you would be a likely candidate. Amyloid is laid dowm as I mentioned in multiple organs,including skin, spleen, kidneys and peripheral nerves. In solid organs it can cause enlargement,in peripheral nerves it can cause neuropathy. The diagnosis can be made by a biopsy of a peripheral nerve or any other involved tissue, I would bring this to the attention of your neurologist as it is obviously very relevant ot your subsequent evaluation and treatment.

Site Map Peripheral Neuropathy May 1998 View PDF Table of Contents Managing Neuropathy Nerve Growth Factor Diagnosis and Management of Sensory Neuropathy Epidemiology ... References Peripheral neuropathy (PN), or damage to the peripheral nerves (nerves outside the brain or spinal chord), is a potential side effect of many anti-HIV therapies or HIV itself and can greatly affect quality of life. It is often caused by a breakdown of the myelin sheath, the coating around nerve fibers that acts as an electrical insulator. Early signs of PN can include a sensation of burning, tingling, or numbness in the fingers or toes. Some people describe an electric shock sensation or a strange plastic or scab-like sensation when something touches their fingers or toes. In severe cases, touching the affected area can feel like touching an open wound. In some cases, there may be a deep soreness or shooting pains in the muscles of the legs and lower arms that may be transient but always affect the same general area. In more serious cases, severe pain and altered feedback in the nervous system may even interfere with walking. Currently, there are no effective treatments that can stop or reverse this nerve damage. The most effective management of PN includes identifying the cause and, if possible, eliminating it. In many cases, the best treatment is simply pain management, and the type of medication used is generally determined by the severity of the PN.

This produces symptoms like pain, loss of sensation, and inability to control muscles. ("Neuro" = nerves, "pathy" = abnormal; "peripheral" = nerves beyond the brain and spinal cord.) Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The peripheral nerves are responsible for relaying information from your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to muscles and other organs. Peripheral nerves also relay information back to your spinal cord and brain from your skin, joints, and other organs. Peripheral neuropathy occurs when these nerves fail to function properly, resulting in loss of sensation, pain, or inability to control muscles. In some cases, failure of nerves controlling blood vessels, intestinal function, and other organs results in abnormal blood pressure, digestion, and loss of other basic involuntary processes. Peripheral neuropathy may involve damage to a single nerve or nerve group (

The peripheral nervous system is made up of the nerves that branch out of the spinal cord to all parts of the body. Peripheral nerve cells have three main parts: cell body, axons, and dendrites. Any part of the nerve can be affected, but damage to axons is most common. The axon transmits signals from nerve cell to nerve cell. Most axons are surrounded by a substance called myelin, which facilitates signal transmission. Peripheral neuropathy can be associated with poor nutrition, a number of diseases, and pressure or trauma. Many people suffer from the disorder without ever identifying the cause.

How are the peripheral neuropathies classified? What are the symptoms of peripheral nerve damage? What causes peripheral neuropathy? ... Where can I get more information? What is peripheral neuropathy? Peripheral neuropathy describes damage to the peripheral nervous system, the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to every other part of the body. Peripheral nerves also send sensory information back to the brain and spinal cord, such as a message that the feet are cold or a finger is burned. Damage to the peripheral nervous system interferes with these vital connections. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral neuropathy distorts and sometimes interrupts messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Because every peripheral nerve has a highly specialized function in a specific part of the body, a wide array of symptoms can occur when nerves are damaged. Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations (paresthesia), sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. Others may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. People may become unable to digest food easily, maintain safe levels of blood pressure, sweat normally, or experience normal sexual function. In the most extreme cases, breathing may become difficult or organ failure may occur.
