Small‐fiber sensory neuropathies: Clinical course and neuropathology of idiopathic cases
Abstract
We describe the clinical features, natural history, and neuropathology of 32 patients presenting with “burning feet”, for whom no specific cause was identified. All had neuropathic pain in the feet and morphological abnormalities of cutaneous innervation in skin obtained using punch biopsy. Most (29) had an abnormal sensory examination. All had normal strength, proprioception, tendon reflexes, and nerve conductions. Two clinical patterns were apparent, based on natural history and spatial distribution of cutaneous denervation. Most (28) patients presented with neuropathic pain initially restricted to the feet and toes but extending more proximally to involve the legs and hands with time. Intraepidermal nerve fiber (IENF) density was most severely reduced distally, with more normal IENF densities in skin from proximal sites. In contrast, a minority (4) presented with the abrupt onset of generalized cutaneous burning pain and hyperesthesia. In these patients, IENF densities were reduced in skin from both proximal and distal sites. Absolute IENF densities in calf skin were reduced below the lower limit of normal (5th percentile) in 26 (81%). Of the 6 who underwent sural nerve biopsy, 4 had selective loss of small myelinated and/or unmyelinated axons and 2 had normal histology and fiber densities despite reduced IENF densities in skin biopsy specimens. Punch skin biopsy from proximal and distal sites is a useful means of assessing these distinctive patients and may provide further insight into pathophysiology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
