CLASSIFICATION OF NEUROPATHY 1. BASED ON THE ONSET OF NEUROPATHY: ACUTE NEUROPATHY eg.

: ACUTE IDIOPATHIC
POLYNEUROPATHY

CHRONIC NEUROPTHY

eg.

: BERI BERI DIABETES MELLITUS LEPROSY

2. BASED ON SEVERITY
1. MILD NEUROPATHY : SENSORY ONLY 2. MODERATE NEUROPATHY : SENSORY, MOTOR, AND DECREASE OF TENDON REFLEXES 3. SEVERE NEUROPATHY : SENSORY, MOTOR, DECREASE OF TENDON REFLEXES, MUSCLE ATROPHY

3.

BASED ON THE NUMBER OF NERVES INVOLVED 1. MONONEUROPATHY SIMPLEX : ONLY ONE PHERIPHERAL NERVE INVOLVED.
2. MONONEUROPATHY MULTIPLEX (MULTIFOCAL NEURPATHY) : MULTIPE, SCATTERED NERVES IN AN IRREGULAR DISTRIBUTION

3. POLYNEUROPATHY : SEVERAL NERVES INVOLVED, SYMMETRICAL, SAME ONSET AND DISTAL PREDOMINANT.

4. BASED ON LESION SITE

1 DISTAL AXONOPATHY : AXONAL LESION 2. MYELINOPATHY : DISORDER OF MYELIN SHEATH. 3. NEUROPATHY : DISORDER OF CELL BODY AT ANTERIOR HORN CELLS, SPINAL CORD OR DORSAL ROOT GANGLION.
