The notation "neuropat idiopathic peripheral NOS" can be understood as probably a "working diagnosis". Working diagnoses are ones based mostly on symptoms, and are subject to change when further diagnostics or evaluation is completed.
To understand a notation, it is easiest by breaking down each part of it.
1. Neuropat was likely a short version of the word neuropathic, which refers to nerves and nerve impulses. "Nerves" in this sense is NOT referring to anxiety or "nervous" conditions.
2. Idiopathic simply means "of unknown cause". In some conditions, the precise or specific cause may never be known or found. This is especially true for conditions affecting the nerves and nerve impulses.
3. Peripheral refers to "furthest from the center of the body" which means, by nature, arms and legs -- usually the legs and feet. Peripheral Neuropathy, for example, is a painful nerve condition that often affects diabetic patients in their feet and legs, or from a wide range of other causes.
4. "NOS" is the acronym (short-hand) letters for "Not Otherwise Specified". Some diagnoses in medicine and psychiatry cannot be "specific" without further tests and evaluation. Some diagnoses remain "NOS" even after testing and diagnostics, simply because the "clinical picture" and symptoms do not clearly fit other diagnoses. Also, sometimes what doctors write down is deliberately non-specific if the diagnosis might cause the patient unnecessary trouble at work, for example.
So, you could simply read "neuropat idiopathic peripheral NOS" as ---
"a condition or symptom affecting the nervous system, specifically the peripheral nerves (likely the legs and feet) which has no known cause (yet, or at this time) and 'Not Otherwise Specified' by the available listed diagnoses that a doctor knows and could assign to define this patient's symptoms and clinical findings."
