Aim:
Mononeuropathy multiplex is a specific syndromic presentation among peripheral nerve disorders. It is usually associated with rare etiologies with potentially severe complications and thus must be promptly recognized both by general neurologists and neuromuscular specialists. Despite recent descriptions discussing specific etiologies, reviews focusing on the syndromic presentation as starting point are lacking. We provide here a review of mononeuropathy multiplex, focusing on its clinical presentation, electrophysiological and radiological evaluation, diagnostic workup and etiologies.

Nervous Tissue: Neuron Types
Structurally, neurons are categorized into three main types: multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar (or pseudounipolar). Multipolar neurons, which are the most common type in the brain and spinal cord, as well as all motor neurons, possess multiple dendrites and a single axon.
Bipolar neurons, on the other hand, have one primary dendrite and one axon. They are...
