Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy Sensorimotor polyneuropathy is a body-wide (systemic) process that damages nerve cells, nerve fibers (axons), and nerve coverings (myelin sheath). Damage to the covering of the nerve cell causes nerve signals to slow down. Damage to the nerve fiber or entire nerve cell can make the nerve stop working.

- Sensory neurological irritation as a symptom of polyneuropathy. Sensory neurological irritations are often noticed, if anything, more than signs of neurological deficits. There may be tingling, stabbing and electrified sensations and hot or cold parasthaesias, with feelings of swelling or constriction.

Polyneuropathy NOTE: This is the Professional Version. A polyneuropathy is a diffuse peripheral nerve disorder that is not confined to the distribution of a single nerve or a single limb and typically is relatively symmetrical bilaterally.

In Western nations, diabetes is the most common cause of neuropathy.

- Surgery for tumors near the sensorimotor cortex poses risks to both sensory and motor pathways. While the sensory pathways may be monitored successfully with somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), the motor pathways pose different challenges.

- Idiopathic sensory-motor polyneuropathy is an illness where sensory and motor nerves of the peripheral nervous system are affected and no obvious underlying etiology is found.In many respects, the symptoms are very similar to diabetic polyneuropathy.n idiopathic sensory-motor polyneuropathy, the patients may experience unusual sensations (paresthesias), numbness and pain in their hands and feet. In addition, there may be weakness of the muscles in the feet and hands.

Signs & Symptoms Tactile sensations are often altered in body regions affected by peripheral neuropathy. Commonly, this manifests as increased sensitivity to pressure. For example, when a patient with polyneuropathy steps on a small pebble, it may feel like a sharp piece of glass is cutting into the sole of their foot.

Can I Continue Working with Neuropathy? While symmetrical peripheral polyneuropathy is the most common form of the condition and causes pain, numbness and other neurological symptoms in the legs and feet, neuropathy can occur in any area of the peripheral nervous system. This means that you may be unable to work as a result of your condition no matter which nerves are affected.

Alcoholic polyneuropathy Large studies have been conducted and show that alcoholic polyneuropathy severity and incidence correlates best with the total lifetime consumption of alcohol. Factors such as nutritional intake, age, or other medical conditions are correlate in lesser degrees. For unknown reasons, alcoholic polyneuropathy has a high incidence in women.

What Is Polyneuropathy? Polyneuropathy is a condition in which a person’s peripheral nerves are damaged. These are nerves that run throughout your body. Polyneuropathy affects the nerves in your skin, muscles, and organs. When nerves are damaged, they can’t send regular signals back to your brain. This condition does not affect the nerves in your brain or spine, however.

- (April 2014). A highly sensitive person (HSP) is a person having the innate trait of high sensory processing sensitivity (or innate sensitiveness, as originally coined by Carl Jung). Some common signs are sensitivity to loud noises, bright or fluorescent lights, and strong smells.

Peripheral Neuropathy In some polyneuropathies, typically in SFN, autonomic fibers are also affected. In these disorders, a variety of autonomic symptoms may be present, although certainly the most dramatic and incapacitating is orthostatic hypotension, which causes postural light-headedness, syncope, or both.n some polyneuropathies, typically in SFN, autonomic fibers are also affected.

- Primary autonomic neuropathies are disorders that are idiopathic or that have autonomic neuropathy as a characteristic feature of the disease process itself. In the secondary autonomic neuropathies, an identifiable cause, such as a nutritional deficiency, may lead to autonomic neuropathy, but does not have autonomic neuropathy as a defining feature of the disease process.

Autonomic Neuropathy Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms that occur when there is damage to the nerves that manage every day body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, bowel and bladder emptying, and digestion. Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms, not a specific disease. There are many causes. Autonomic neuropathy involves damage to the nerves that carry information from the brain and spinal cord to the heart, blood vessels, bladder, intestines, sweat glands, and pupils.

- Sensory polyneuropathy is the condition of having multiple sensory neuropathies, while motor polyneuropathy refers to multiple motor neuropathies. Sensorimotor polyneuropathy or sensory-motor polyneuropathy is the combination of both conditions. Myelinopathy, or demyelinating polyneuropathy, is due to a loss of myelin (or of the Schwann cells that make and contain it). 2  This demyelination slows down or completely blocks the conduction of action potentials through the axon of the nerve cell.

Overview Peripheral neuropathy can affect one nerve (mononeuropathy), two or more nerves in different areas (multiple mononeuropathy) or many nerves (polyneuropathy). Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example of mononeuropathy. Most people with peripheral neuropathy have polyneuropathy.

Neuromyelitis optica AQP4+ NMO is currently considered an autoimmune disease (autoimmune astrocytopathy, or autoimmune astrocytic channelopathy) in which a person's own immune system attacks the astrocytes of the optic nerves and spinal cord. The cause of the AQP4- variants is unknown.pinal cord lesions lead to varying degrees of weakness or paralysis in the legs or arms, loss of sensation (including blindness), and/or bladder and bowel dysfunction. Devic's disease is now studied along a collection of similar diseases called Neuromyelitis optica spectrum diseases.

Autonomic Neuropathy Clinical Presentation In general, patients present with symptoms of both sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction, with or without symptoms of somatic nervous system dysfunction.Some symptoms, such as those of orthostatic intolerance, are common in autonomic neuropathies, whereas other symptoms, such as complete anhidrosis, are rare as a primary manifestation.
