Histopathologic evaluation of nerve biopsy specimens provides important diagnostic information in some patients with peripheral neuropathy. The role of nerve biopsy is more restricted than that of muscle biopsy. Nerve biopsy is utilized mainly for diagnosis of vasculitis and infiltrative neuropathies. It is also utilized in diagnosis of atypical inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies in which the clinical, electrodiagnostic, and laboratory features are inconclusive. In addition, the study of nerve histopathology can also enhance our understanding of disease pathogenesis.
