Neuritis
.Neuritis is a lesion of individual peripheral nerves due to the influence of various causative factors (cold, various diseases, trauma, poisoning, etc.). д.). In contrast to neuralgia (cf. in the next chapter) neuritis is characterized by changes in the nerve, involving not only its sheaths but also the axial center.
Neuritis has its own clinical picture. The symptomatology of a peripheral nerve lesion depends on the function that nerve performs. But more often in neuritis there is a combination of paresis (weakening of function) and atrophy.
