DESCRIPTION  Peripheral neuritis is the inflammation of nerves in the arms and legs. If it is permanent, it can result in muscle weakness and wasting. There may also be a loss of sense of touch and a decrease in certain reflexes. A "pins and needles" type pain is usually felt. |

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) describes damage to the peripheral nervous system, the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to every other part of the body. Peripheral nerves also send sensory information back to the brain and spinal cord, such as a message that the feet are cold or a finger is burned. Damage to the peripheral nervous system interferes with these vital connections. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral neuropathy distorts and sometimes interrupts messages between the brain and the rest of the body. |
Because every peripheral nerve has a highly specialized function in a specific part of the body, a wide array of symptoms can occur when nerves are damaged. Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations (paresthesia), sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. Others may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. People may become unable to digest food easily, maintain safe levels of blood pressure, sweat normally, or experience normal sexual function. In the most extreme cases, breathing may become difficult or organ failure may occur. |
Some forms of neuropathy involve damage to only one nerve and are called mononeuropathies. More often though, multiple nerves affecting all limbs are affected-called polyneuropathy. Occasionally, two or more isolated nerves in separate areas of the body are affected-called mononeuritis multiplex. |
In acute neuropathies, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, symptoms appear suddenly, progress rapidly, and resolve slowly as damaged nerves heal. In chronic forms, symptoms begin subtly and progress slowly. Some people may have periods of relief followed by relapse. Others may reach a plateau stage where symptoms stay the same for many months or years. Some chronic neuropathies worsen over time, but very few forms prove fatal unless complicated by other diseases. Occasionally the neuropathy is a symptom of another disorder. |
In the most common forms of polyneuropathy, the nerve fibers (individual cells that make up the nerve) most distant from the brain and the spinal cord malfunction first. Pain and other symptoms often appear symmetrically, for example, in both feet followed by a gradual progression up both legs. Next, the fingers, hands, and arms may become affected, and symptoms can progress into the central part of the body. Many people with diabetic neuropathy experience this pattern of ascending nerve damage. |
Peripheral neuritis can occur at any age, but is most common in men between ages 30 and 50. The outlook is good if the cause is quickly identified and eliminated. |
There are many possible causes of peripheral neuropathy, including: |
-
Some of the most common causes include repetitive activities such as typing or working on an assembly line. In this case, the neuropathy may be isolated to the upper extremities, such as with carpal tunnel syndrome.
-
Pressure on a nerve can cause a peripheral neuropathy. For example, pressure on a nerve that comes out from the groin to the skin in front of the upper thigh (the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) can cause burning and tingling in this location. This particular problem is called meralgia paresthetica and can be caused by wearing a tight belt or other restrictive clothing. Additionally, it can result from being overweight or pregnant.
-
Many illnesses can result in peripheral neuropathy. Some examples include diabetes, syphilis, AIDS, and kidney failure.
-
Other causes include nutritional deficiencies, such as B-12 and folate deficiency, medications and chemical exposures. Medications known to cause peripheral neuropathy, include several AIDS drugs (DDC and DDI), antibiotics (metronidazole, an antibiotic used for Crohn's disease, isoniazid used for TB), gold compounds (used for rheumatoid arthritis), some chemotherapy drugs (such as vincristine and others) and many others. Chemicals known to cause peripheral neuropathy include alcohol, lead, arsenic, mercury and organophosphate pesticides.
-
Some peripheral neuropathies are associated with diseases which are inherited (hereditary). Others are related to infectious processes (such as Guillian-Barre syndrome).

| SYNONYMS |
-
Peripheral neuritis
-
Neuropathy - peripheral
-
Neuritis - peripheral
|
SYMPTOMS
|
|
Sensation changes |
-
Damage to sensory fibers results in changes in sensation, ranging from abnormal sensations (burning, nerve pain, or tingling), numbness , or an inability to determine joint position in the area, which causes incoordination.
-
For many neuropathies, sensation changes often begin in the feet and progress toward the center of the body with involvement of other areas as the condition worsens.
|
Movement difficulties |
- Damage to the motor fibers interferes with muscle control and can cause weakness, loss of muscle bulk, and loss of dexterity. Sometimes, cramps are a sign of motor nerve involvement.
- Other muscle-related symptoms include:
- lack of muscle control
- difficulty or inability to move a part of the body (paralysis)
- muscle atrophy
- muscle twitching (fasciculation) or cramping
- difficulty breathing or swallowing
- falling (from legs buckling or tripping over toes)
- lack of dexterity (i.e. unable to button a shirt)
|
Autonomic symptoms - The autonomic nerves control involuntary or semi-voluntary functions, such as control of internal organs and blood pressure. Damage to autonomic nerves can cause: |
-
blurred vision
-
decreased ability to sweat (anhidrosis)
-
dizziness that occurs when standing up or fainting associated with a fall in blood pressure
-
heat intolerance with exertion (decreased ability to regulate body temperature)
-
nausea or vomiting after meals
-
abdominal bloating (swelling)
-
feeling full after eating a small amount (early satiety)
-
diarrhea
-
constipation
-
unintentional weight loss (more than 5% of body weight)
-
urinary incontinence
-
feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
-
difficulty beginning to urinate (urinary hesitancy)
-
male impotence
