Abstract

Abstract : Compressive neuropathies present with focal symptoms. Polysensory neuropathies present with multifocal or symmetric symptoms. Clinical examination alone can differentiate between compressive and polysensory neuropathy. Electrodiagnostic studies can distinguish between types of polysensory neuropathies.
