Abstract
Disorders of the dorsal root ganglia are increasingly recognized as causes of sensory loss and ataxia. This chapter covers first the development, anatomy, chemistry, and physiology of the dorsal root ganglia. This is followed by discussions of the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of disorders of the dorsal root ganglia. This includes paraneoplastic and immune-mediated nonmalignant inflammatory sensory polyganglionopathies as well as sensory ganglionopathy associated with Sjögren syndrome and toxic and nutritional ganglionopathies.
