Peripheral neuropathy classification

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Mohamadmostafa Jahansouz M.D.[2]

Overview

Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected into three groups: Mononeuropathy, Mononeuritis multiplex and Polyneuropathy.It may also be classified according to the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected into three groups: Motor, sensory and Autonomic. peripheral neuropathy may also be classified according to the process affecting the nerves into three groups: Inflammatory neuritis, compression neuropathy andchemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
