Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common neurological problems encountered by physicians, and the broad diagnosis of neuropathy has a wide variety of underlying etiologies and varied clinical presentations. This review aims to cover the spectrum of treatable neuropathies, their etiologies, diagnostic criteria, and advances in treatment. Clinical pattern recognition and neuropathy characterization help narrow the list of differential diagnoses and thus direct the investigations. The list of treatable neuropathies is increasing and mainly includes metabolic, immune, infectious, toxic, and nutritional etiologies. Prompt recognition of treatable neuropathies with early treatment reduces morbidity and disability. In this review, we shall discuss the common treatable neuropathies in detail and tabulate the uncommon conditions.
