| optic neuritis | <pathology> Inflammation of the optic nerve. This may occur secondary to a wide variety of causes: multiple sclerosis, posterior uveitis, vascular lesions of the optic nerve (interruption of blood supply to the optic nerve), temporal arteritis, central retinal artery occlusion, methyl alcohol poisoning, drug side effects and acute demyelinative disease of the optic nerves (destruction of optic nerve sheath). (27 Sep 1997) |
| Eichhorst's neuritis | Inflammation of the connective tissue framework of a nerve. Synonym: Eichhorst's neuritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| toxic neuritis | Neuritis caused by an endogenous or exogenous toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endemic neuritis | <disease> An endemic form of polyneuritis (nerve inflammation), due to an unbalanced diet, with a deficiency of vitamin B1(thiamin). Common in those who chronically abuse alcohol. (11 Jan 1998) |
| traumatic neuritis | Nerve lesion following an injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fallopian neuritis | Paralysis of the facial muscles, usually unilateral, due to either a lesion involving the nucleus or the facial nerve peripheral to the nucleus (peripheral facial paralysis) or a supranuclear lesion in the cerebrum or upper brainstem (central facial paralysis). With latter, facial weakness is usually partial and the upper portion of the face is relatively spared, due to bilateral cortical connections. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Leyden's neuritis | Fatty degeneration of the fibres of the affected nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute brachial radiculitis | A neurological disorder, of unknown cause, characterised by the sudden onset of severe pain, usually about the shoulder and often beginning at night, soon followed by weakness and wasting of various forequarter muscles, particularly shoulder girdle muscles; both sporadic and familial in occurrence with the former much more common; often preceded by some antecedent event, such as an upper respiratory infection, hospitalization, vaccination, or non-specific trauma; usually attributed to a brachial plexus lesion, because the nerve fibres involed are most often derived from the upper trunk, but actually multiple proximal mononeuropathies. Synonym: acute brachial radiculitis, brachial plexitis, brachial plexus neuropathy, Parsonage-Turner syndrome, shoulder-girdle syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |

| brachial birth palsy | Paralysis of the infant's arm due to injury received at birth usually resulting from a shoulder dystocia; three types are recognised: 1) whole arm; 2) upper arm (Erb's p.); 3) forearm (Klumpke's paralysis). (05 Mar 2000) |
