There is a predominantly sensory neuropathy associated with chronic and critical limb ischemia. Neuropathic symptoms are often obscured by the effects of ischemia on other tissues. The neurophysiologic changes suggest that the underlying path ophysiology is a distal axonopathy affecting nerve fibers of all sizes. Measures of blood flow in the leg correlate with neurologic symptoms scores, examination scores, and electrophysiologic testing. |
