Abstract
The approach to the neuropathological assessment of nerve biopsies is the main focus of this review. Nerve biopsies are invasive diagnostic procedures resulting in a permanent neurological deficit, and are therefore carried out only following an in-depth clinical assessment including laboratory, imaging, electrophysiological, and where appropriate also genetic studies. This review will outline the key diagnostic approaches and will discuss neuropathies relevant in clinical practice, caused by vasculitis, inflammatory demyelination, dysproteinaemic, amyloid, toxic agents, and neuropathies due to genetic conditions.
