MeSH Heading: Polyradiculoneuropathy
Tree Number(s): C10.114.750; C10.314.750; C10.668.829.800.750; C20.111.258.750
Unique ID: D011129
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011129
Annotation: do not confuse with POLYRADICULOPATHY (dis of multiple nerve roots) nor with RADICULOPATHY (dis of a single nerve root)
Scope Note: Diseases characterized by injury or dysfunction involving multiple peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process may primarily affect myelin or nerve axons. Two of the more common demyelinating forms are acute inflammatory polyradiculopathy (GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME) and POLYRADICULONEUROPATHY, CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING. Polyradiculoneuritis refers to inflammation of multiple peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots.
Entry Term(s): Autoimmune Demyelinating Disease, Peripheral; Demyelinating Autoimmune Disease, Peripheral; Demyelinating Disease, Peripheral Autoimmune; Peripheral Autoimmune Demyelinating Disease; Polyradiculoneuritis
