A highly illustrated (bandw) monograph directed to neurologists and pathologists, combining a practical approach to nerve biopsy interpretation in peripheral neuropathy with an overview of the progress of the past two decades in the understanding of peripheral nerve pathobiology. Also covered are clinical features of polyneuropathy and the microscopic anatomy of nerves. Emphasis is placed on the usefulness and limitations of nerve biopsy as a diagnostic tool. The material examined consists of some 700 nerve biopsies collected over a 22-year period at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
