For many years, nerve biopsy has been very useful for clarifying the mechanism and aetiology of human peripheral neuropathies. Recently, this morphological examination has greatly benefited from the contribution of new immunocytochemical, ultrastructural and molecular biological techniques, which can often be used together in studies on inflammatory, paraproteinaemic and genetic neuropathies.
