Peripheral Neuropathy
- Mononeuropathy involves the loss of motor or sensory function in the distribution of one nerve.
- Polyneuropathies involve multiple peripheral nerves, usually symmetrically, and tend to be a length-dependent process (starts distally and progresses proximally).
- Mononeuritis multiplex is a process that affects multiple nerves and can be associated with pain and loss of reflexes.
- Autonomic neuropathies selectively affect the nerves involved with the autonomic nervous system.
