Abstract
- Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a term applied to any condition affecting peripheral nerve function. The disorder can affect the peripheral nerve soma (motor or sensory neurons), which are referred to as neuronopathies, or peripheral nerve fibers, which are neuropathies. Most peripheral nerves are mixed, having sensory motor and autonomic nerves. The pure form of sensory or motor neuropathy occurs when the soma (dorsal root ganglion or anterior horn cells) are selectively involved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
