Multiplex mononeuropathy

Classification according to ICD-10
G58.7	Mononeuritis multiplex
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

The mononeuropathia multiplex ( gr. Monos alone; neuron nerve; lat. Multiplex multiple) is a certain distribution pattern of a polyneuropathy ( multiplex type ) in medicine . Several nerve trunks are affected at the same time or at different times. In contrast, neighboring nerve trunks are not or hardly affected.

A sub-form of mononeuropathia multiplex is mononeuritis multiplex , in which, in the broadest sense, an inflammatory reaction is the cause of the nerve damage. The combination of a mononeuropathia multiplex and a distally symmetrical neuropathy is referred to as a focus neuropathy.

As a symptom or sign of illness, mononeuropathia multiplex is usually a component of other or superordinate diseases. This includes

Diabetes mellitus
Collagenoses (for example lupus erythematosus , " mixed connective tissue disease ", rheumatoid arthritis , Sjogren's disease )
Vasculitides (e.g. mononeuritis multiplex in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis or panarteritis nodosa )
Sarcoid
Amyloidosis
Tomacular neuropathy
Infectious diseases ( e.g. neuroborreliosis , AIDS , cytomegaly , herpes zoster , hepatitis B and hepatitis C , leprosy , leptospirosis )
Severe arterial disease
Lead poisoning .
