There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...
Peripheral neuropathy may first be considered when an individual reports symptoms of numbness, tingling, and pain in feet.

The symptoms vary widely, as do the treatments. Central nervous system tumors are the most common forms of pediatric cancer. Brain tumors are the most frequent and have the highest mortality. [4] Some disorders, such as substance addiction, autism, and ADHD may be regarded as CNS disorders, though the classifications are not without dispute.
