The peripheral neuropathies are a wide range of disorders ranging from simple nerve entrapments to disabling multi-system diseases. They form a notorious diagnostic maze with environmental and genetic factors playing a role in some. Therapy is similarly complex and in some cases controversial. This book contains 100 maxims which unequivocally define what, in the author's own clinical experience, is most important in understanding each disorder.
