“…Additionally, there may be muscle weakness in the feet and hands, problems with balancing, and walking difficulty in the dark or on uneven surfaces. A minority of the autonomic nervous system patients might be involved, and the patients may have vomiting, persistent nausea, diarrhea, incontinence, constipation, sweating, sexual dysfunction, or abnormalities [13]. In the present study, the mean age of idiopathic polyneuropathy (55.8 7.5) years ranged from (45-71) years, with a male-to-female ratio of 55-45%, which provides information on the late onset of idiopathic polyneuropathy in both sexes.…”

“…Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common and etiologically diverse group of disease, in dismal, encountered by the neurologists. [1] Although, the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy is about 2-8%, [1] the agony lies in establishing the diagnosis and underlying etiology which remains obscure in nearly 25% of the cases. [2] Early diagnosis of treatable neuropathies can prevent further worsening of the neuropathic processes, or even allow recovery, hence making the process time sensitive.…”

“…For example, optimising blood glucose in diabetics, correction of vitamin deficiencies, addressing hypothyroidism, urgent intervention in patients with Gullian Barre syndrome improves the quality of patient life significantly. [1,3] Diagnostic workup of peripheral neuropathy involves detailed evaluation of symptoms, history, examination (motor, sensory, reflexes, gait, autonomic function, cranial nerve examination) and investigation (complete blood count, serum electrolytes, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fasting blood glucose, vitamin B12, thyroid-stimulating hormone level, CSF). The electrophysiological tests are the cornerstone of evaluation.…”

“…Peripheral neuropathy is characterized by altered sensations, which generally begin in the lower extremities and progress upward (Mutua, 2021). Individuals with diabetic neuropathy may have a complete sensory loss, paresthesias, numbness, and a loss of temperature feeling (Motiwala, 2021).…”
