Small fiber peripheral neuropathy is a frequently encountered neurological disorder, which can be difficult to diagnose. In this article, the differential diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy is discussed, along with role of autonomic testing, skin biopsy, and quantitative sensory testing, in establishing a definitive diagnosis of small fiber peripheral neuropathy. Disorders of orthostatic intolerance, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), are also discussed, emphasizing diagnostic evaluation and a treatment approach to these disorders.
小纤维周围神经病变是一种常见的神经系统疾病,可能难以诊断。本文讨论了小纤维神经病变的鉴别诊断,以及自主神经检测、皮肤活检和定量感觉测试在明确诊断小纤维周围神经病变中的作用。还讨论了体位性不耐受障碍,包括姿势性直立性心动过速综合征(POTS),重点强调了这些疾病的诊断评估和治疗方法。
