Incldues bibliographical references (p. 195-220). Peripheral nerve disease was described by Galen (AD 130-200) over a thousand years ago.(3) Detailed anatomical illustrations were documented by Andreas Vesalius in his major work 'De humani corporis fabrica' in 1543.(4) Over the last two centuries an explosion in knowledge in the area has occurred, with a further exponential increase in the last 20 years mostly related to understandings in the field of molecular genetics.(5) Although some degree of diagnostic closure was possible for a number of the hereditary peripheral neuropathies, this has not been the end point of knowledge but only the beginning. 2014-12-31T19:52:58Z 2014-12-31T19:52:58Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10746 eng application/pdf Department of Paediatrics and Child Health Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
