Peripheral polyradiculoneuropathy in children often appears after the patient is infected with herpes virus, chickenpox, mumps, hepatitis A, B,... If the disease is not detected and treated promptly, there is a high risk of death due to respiratory failure, pulmonary aspiration or cardiac arrest.

Polyneuropathy is a disease that sounds quite strange but is common in the community without being well recognized. Symptoms of polyneuropathy are very diverse, sometimes vague but can lead to dangerous effects for the patient if not detected and intervened early.

A very careful neurological examination and nerve conduction studies check how well and quickly the nerves transmit electrical signals.

The peripheral nervous system plays an important role in the body. There are many causes that can lead to inflammation, peripheral nerve pain and cause the patient to have movement and sensory disorders. In some cases, it can cause respiratory muscle paralysis and circulatory arrest. If not treated promptly, there is a risk of death.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is a polyneuropathy characterized by sensory loss in the hands and feet. Patients with this disease need early treatment to ensure a higher chance of recovery.

Guillain-Barre syndrome, also known as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy or autoimmune peripheral neuropathy, is a rare medical condition. This is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. This condition will cause the nerves to become inflamed, leading to paralysis or muscle weakness if not treated properly and promptly.

Paraproteinemia-induced demyelinating peripheral neuropathy belongs to the group of autoimmune peripheral neuropathies, caused by autoimmune disorders in the body.

Demyelinating polyneuropathy is a disease that occurs simultaneously on many cranial or peripheral nerves. This is one of the common neurological diseases. If not diagnosed correctly, the treatment of the disease will become very difficult.

Transverse myelitis is common in people aged 10-19 and 30-39, causing damage or destruction of myelin, making nerve cells lose the ability to transmit nerve information from the spinal cord to organs in the body.

Sensory and motor transmission of nerves follows afferent and efferent pathways. Nerves provide a common pathway for the transmission of nerve impulses that are transmitted along the axon to peripheral organs.
