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.
