Abstract

Several conditions have been associated with the development of small fiber neuropathy (SFN). The list of metabolic, immune-mediated, infectious, toxic, drugs-related, and hereditary conditions is still growing and various hypotheses are made about the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Understanding these processes is important to provide new targets for treatment. In addition, the specific SFN phenotype can provide direction for the underlying etiology. This review discusses the latest developments concerning the expanding etiologies in SFN.
