  2. Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_neuropathy

    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).

  3. Polyneuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyneuropathy

    The diagnosis of polyneuropathy begins with a history (anamnesis) and physical examination to ascertain the pattern of the disease process (such as arms, legs, distal, proximal), if they fluctuate, and what deficits and pain are involved. If pain is a factor, determining where and how long it has been present is important; one also needs to ...

  4. Sensory neuronopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuronopathy

    Sensory neuronopathy differs from the more common length dependent axonal polyneuropathies (such as diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy) in that the symptoms do not progress in a distal to proximal pattern (starting in the feet and progressing to the legs and hands), rather symptoms develop in a multifocal, asymmetric, and non-length dependent ...

  5. Small fiber peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_fiber_peripheral...

    A skin biopsy for the measurement of epidermal nerve fiber density is an increasingly common technique for the diagnosis of small fiber peripheral neuropathy. [13] Physicians can biopsy the skin with a 3-mm circular punch tool and immediately fix the specimen in 2% paraformaldehyde lysine-periodate or Zamboni's fixative. [ 20 ]

  6. Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_motor_and...

    Patients with hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies are diagnosed through a physical evaluation that looks for muscle atrophy, weakness, and sensory responses. [3] In addition to this, electromyography and motor nerve conduction tests can help clinicians decide what type of motor and sensory neuropathy it is and how severe the disease is.

  7. Alcoholic polyneuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_polyneuropathy

    Alcoholic polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder in which peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction simultaneously.It is defined by axonal degeneration in neurons of both the sensory and motor systems and initially occurs at the distal ends of the longest axons in the body.

  8. Giant axonal neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_axonal_neuropathy

    Giant axonal neuropathy is a rare, autosomal recessive [1] neurological disorder that causes disorganization of neurofilaments.Neurofilaments form a structural framework that helps to define the shape and size of neurons and are essential for normal nerve function.

  9. Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_sensory_and...

    BMP signaling is involved in axon guidance and synapse formation, as well as axonal transport and the organization of the microtubule network in developing neurons. The signaling is disturbed in several neurodegenerative disorders. [32] It also regulates membrane dynamics in the neuronal growth cone in rat. [33]
