| The terms "[[polyneuropathy]]," "peripheral neuropathy," and "neuropathy" are often often used interchangeably but in fact have distinct definitions.
| |
| | |
| * [[Polyneuropathy]] is a generalised relatively homogenous disease process where many peripheral nerves are affected with the distal nerves being most prominently affected
| |
| * Peripheral neuropathy refers to any disorder of the peripheral nervous system which can include radiculopathies and mononeuropathies. It is a less precise term than polyneuropathy.
| |
| * Neuropathy is even more general, referring to disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system
