Term
| Name a metabolic neuropathy |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A metabolic disturbance of nerve cells due to diabetes that results in possible demyelination; damage may also be caused by vascular changes. Manifests as sensory, motor, and proprioception deficits. Treat by controlling the diabetes. |

|
Term
| A self-limiting, demyelinating syndrome related to autoimmune dysfunction, viral and bacterial infection, surgical complication, some vaccines, Hodgkin disease, and some types of drug reactions. Motor and/or sensory dysfunction begins in the extremities and moves proximally, sometimes leading to respiratory failure before function is restored within weeks or months |
