| multiple neuritis | <neurology> A disease process involving a number of peripheral nerves. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (14 Oct 1997) |
| sciatic neuritis | A syndrome characterised by pain radiating from the back into the buttock and into the lower extremity along its posterior or lateral aspect and most commonly caused by prolapse of the intervertebral disk, the term is also used to refer to pain anywhere along the course of the sciatic nerve. (18 Nov 1997) |
| segmental neuritis | Inflammation occurring at several points along the course of a nerve, segmental demyelinating neuropathy (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuritis | <clinical sign> Inflammation of a nerve, a condition attended by pain and tenderness over the nerves, anaesthesia and paraesthesias, paralysis, wasting and disappearance of the reflexes. In practice, the term is also used to denote noninflammatory lesions of the peripheral nervous system. If the involvement is in one nerve it is called mononeuritis, in several nerves, mononeuritis multiplex, if diffuse and bilateral, polyneuritis. See: neuropathy. (16 Dec 1997) |
| neuritis, experimental allergic | An autoimmune demyelinating disorder of peripheral nerves produced by injection of peripheral nerve tissue protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| suboccipital neuritis | See: posttraumatic neck syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending neuritis | Inflammation progressing downward along a nerve trunk in a direction toward the periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intraocular neuritis | Inflammation of the retinal portion of the optic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital neuritis | See: posttraumatic neck syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
