There are hundreds and thousands causes of peripheral neuropathies, and a variety of clinical manifestations.

The first and essential step is to know the clinical characteristics of peripheral neuropathies and caterogorize them to subtype for differential diagnosis. However, up to 30% of the neuropathy remains idiopathic despite of extensive evaluation. Symptomatic management with serial follow up is essential in these cryptogenic neuropathies.
