Mononeuritis multiplex is the clinical picture that arises from problems with multiple individual nerves serially or almost simultaneously.

Synonyms

Mononeuropathy multiplex

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.

Diagnosis

Electrodiagnostic studies will show multifocal sensory motor axonal neuropathy.

Causes and associations


Nervous system pathology, primarily PNS (G50-G99, 350-359)
Nerve, nerve root
and plexus disorders		 cranial nerve: V (Trigeminal neuralgia) - VII (Facial nerve paralysis, Bell's palsy, Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, Central seven) - XI (Accessory nerve disorder)

nerve root and plexus: Brachial plexus lesion - Thoracic outlet syndrome - Phantom limb

mononeuropathy: Carpal tunnel syndrome - Ulnar nerve entrapment - Radial neuropathy - Causalgia - Meralgia paraesthetica - Tarsal tunnel syndrome - Morton's neuroma - Mononeuritis multiplex
Polyneuropathies
and other disorders of the PNS		 Hereditary and idiopathic (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Dejerine Sottas syndrome, Refsum's disease, Morvan's syndrome) - Guillain-Barré syndrome - Alcoholic polyneuropathy - Neuropathy
Diseases of myoneural junction
and muscle		 Myasthenia gravis - Primary disorders of muscles (Muscular dystrophy, Myotonic dystrophy, Myotonia congenita, Thomsen disease, Neuromyotonia, Paramyotonia congenita, Centronuclear myopathy, Nemaline myopathy, Mitochondrial myopathy) - Myopathy - Periodic paralysis (Hypokalemic, Hyperkalemic) - Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome
Autonomic Familial dysautonomia - Horner's syndrome - Multiple system atrophy (Shy-Drager syndrome, Olivopontocerebellar atrophy)
