Synopsis "Polyneuropathie: Diagnostik Und Therapie"
English summary: Polyneuropathies are among the most common acute and chronic neurological diseases. They have various causes & diabetes mellitus, autoimmune diseases, rheumatism or cancer, toxic or genetic causes, among others, may all trigger a polyneuropathy. The diagnosis is based on clinical and electrophysiological criteria and has been continually improving with the advent of numerous new methods such as neural ultrasound and MRI; however, it is at the same time becoming more complex. The various different treatment methods, which are becoming increasingly disease-specific, are just as heterogeneous as the causes. Symptomatic therapy should always be considered, such as treatment of neuropathic pain, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, coordination exercises and rehabilitation. This book uses brief case reports to describe typical clinical patterns, pitfalls, and practical approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of polyneuropathies. The assessment of polyneuropathies in providing expert witness responses and in classifying possible disabilities are also discussed. German description: Polyneuropathie ist noch vor der Alzheimer-Demenz eine der haufigsten chronisch neurologischen Erkrankungen. Die Ursachen sind vielfaltig, u.a. Diabetes mellitus, Autoimmunerkrankungen, Rheuma oder Krebsleiden. Die Diagnostik orientiert sich an klinischen und elektrophysiologischen Kriterien und wird durch zahlreiche neue Methoden verbessert, aber auch komplexer. So heterogen wie die Ursachen sind auch unterschiedliche Behandlungsmethoden, die krankheitsspezifisch zunehmen. Dieses Buch beschreibt anhand von Fallvignetten typische klinische Konstellationen, Fallstricke und praktische Losungsansatze bei der Diagnose und Therapie von Polyneuropathien.
