Abstract

Skin biopsy is a valuable diagnostic tool for small-fiber-predominant neuropathy by the quantification of intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD). It has the unique advantage of being a minimally invasive procedure with the potential for longitudinal evaluation of both sensory and autonomic fibers. Unmyelinated small fibers are not otherwise quantified objectively with such a level of sensitivity as has been reported with IENFD. Recent advances include an expansion of the skin punch biopsy technique to evaluate larger myelinated fibers and mechanoreceptors, and recent work has also focused on additional methods of quantifying dermal fibers and densely innervated autonomic structures. This review discusses current work using skin biopsy for the pathologic analysis of peripheral nerve fibers in neuropathy of various causes as well as its use in clinical trials.

This study evaluated both unmyelinated epidermal fibers and myelinated dermal fibers in proximal thigh biopsies from a large cohort of patients with neuropathy of various causes, revealing abnormalities in both fiber populations. This study demonstrates the valuable potential to investigate both large-fiber and small-fiber innervation in skin biopsy.

The dermis is densely innervated by nerves typically arranged in large bundles that have proven difficult to quantify. Lauria et al. proposed a new method of quantifying dermal nerve fiber density by delineating a manageable portion of the dermis (200 μm below the basement membrane) and measuring the length of dermal nerves. Reported values demonstrated reliability and reproducibility, indicating that the method could potentially be used in clinical practice.

Mechanical axotomy and capsaicin were both used in this study to extensively characterize neurovascular repair. The results showed regenerative deficits in patients with diabetes (e.g., slowed Schwann cell migration and axonal regrowth). Blood vessel growth preceded other measures, suggesting a supportive role of blood vessels in axonal repair.

This study reported both sensory and autonomic fiber degeneration following topical application of capsaicin. Sensory fibers were found to degenerate more quickly and regeneration proceeded much more slowly than for autonomic sudomotor, vasomotor, and pilomotor fibers. This is the first study focusing on autonomic fibers following denervation by capsaicin.
