Mononeuropathy multiplex

[edit] Clinical findings

Mononeuritis multiplex typically presents with the acute or subacute evolution of loss of sensory and motor function of individual peripheral nerves. The pattern of involvement is asymmetric.

[edit] Diagnosis

Electrodiagnostic studies will show multifocal sensory motor axonal neuropathy.
