Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected (mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, or polyneuropathy), the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected (motor, sensory, autonomic), or the process affecting the nerves; e.g., inflammation (), compression (compression neuropathy), chemotherapy (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy).
Specialty. Neurology. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( CIDP) is an acquired autoimmune disease of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensory function in the legs and arms. [ 1] The disorder is sometimes called chronic relapsing polyneuropathy ( CRP) or chronic inflammatory ...
Neurology. Small fiber peripheral neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy that occurs from damage to the small unmyelinated and myelinated peripheral nerve fibers. These fibers, categorized as C fibers and small Aδ fibers, are present in skin, peripheral nerves, and organs. [ 1] The role of these nerves is to innervate some skin ...
Sensory neuronopathy. Sensory neuronopathy (also known as sensory ganglionopathy) is a type of peripheral neuropathy that results primarily in sensory symptoms (such as parasthesias, pain or ataxia) due to destruction of nerve cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglion. [ 1] The causes of nerve damage are grouped into categories including those ...
Polyneuropathy (from Greek poly- 'many' neuro- 'nerve' and -pathy 'sickness') is damage or disease affecting peripheral nerves ( peripheral neuropathy) in roughly the same areas on both sides of the body, featuring weakness, numbness, and burning pain. [ 1] It usually begins in the hands and feet and may progress to the arms and legs and ...
Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies ( HMSN) is a name sometimes given to a group of different neuropathies which are all characterized by their impact upon both afferent and efferent neural communication. HMSN are characterised by atypical neural development and degradation of neural tissue. The two common forms of HMSN are either ...
Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. Idiopathic ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is a condition where pressure on the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel causes ulnar neuropathy. The symptoms of neuropathy are paresthesia (tingling) and numbness (loss of sensibility) primarily affecting the little finger and ring finger of the hand.
Inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IDDs), sometimes called Idiopathic (IIDDs) due to the unknown etiology of some of them, are a heterogenous group of demyelinating diseases - conditions that cause damage to myelin, the protective sheath of nerve fibers - that occur against the background of an acute or chronic inflammatory process.
