Small fiber neuropathy

Abstract: Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a peripheral nervous system disease due to affection of A‐delta or C‐fibers in a proximal, distal, or diffuse distribution. Selective SFN (without large fiber affection) manifests with pain, sensory disturbances, or autonomic dysfunction. Though uniform diagnostic criteria are unavailable, most of them request typical clinical features and reduced intra‐epidermal nerve fiber density on proximal or distal skin biopsy. Little consensus has been reached about the treatment of SFN, … Show more

“…El diagnóstico precoz de estas dolencias tiene implicaciones terapéuticas y de mejoría del pronóstico 21,22 . Por ejemplo, en el caso de enfermedades raras como la amiloidosis sistémica por TTR, el diagnóstico precoz supone el acceso a nuevos tratamientos que modifican el curso evolutivo de esta enfermedad que, en su historia natural, tiene un pronóstico sombrío 23,24 .…”

“…Most SFNs are diagnosed with typical clinical features and a reduced intra-epidermal enrve fiber density via skin biopsy. SFN is brought on by a defect in glucose metabolism, immune dysregulation, gluten sensitivity and celiac disease, monoclonal gammopathy, vitamin deficiency, exposure to toxins, cancer, and unexplained causes [ 42 , 43 ].…”

“…Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a peripheral nervous system (PNS) disorder affecting A-delta and C-fibres that conduct in a primarily afferent manner sensory qualities (pin-prick, pain, thermal, mechanical, chemical information) and autonomic information. 1 SFN usually manifests with sensory disturbances, pain, and autonomic abnormalities. 1 In general, SFN can be primary (hereditary) or secondary (acquired).…”
