title: Clinical presentations of peripheral neuropathies.
abstract: This article addresses the clinical presentations of different peripheral neuropathies. The topic is discussed briefly with emphasis on the most important clinical features. MR imaging of the peripheral nerves is a rapidly advancing field, and it is hoped that the basic understanding of the clinical presentations of peripheral neuropathies will encourage radiologists to get more involved in MR imaging of the peripheral nerves.
