TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Peripheral Neuropathies A1 - Brannagan III, Thomas H. A2 - Brust, John C.M. PY - 2019 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Neurology, 3e AB - Neuropathy is defined as a disease or injury of the peripheral sensory, motor, or autonomic nerves. It is usually categorized separately from selective injury to the cell body of the axon (neuronopathy), injury to the nerve roots distal to their origin (radiculopathy), or injury to the brachial or lumbosacral plexus (plexopathy). Neuropathy may be pure motor, pure sensory, or mixed sensorimotor. It may occur symmetrically throughout the body (polyneuropathy), individually in single nerves (mononeuropathy), or in multiple, individual nerves (multifocal neuropathy or mononeuritis multiplex). Autonomic neuropathy may be part of a generalized neuropathy or occur independently. Disorders of the autonomic nervous system are discussed in Chapter 21.
