AB The  classification  of  peripheral  nerve  disorders  can  be  tricky,  as  with  many  major  disease  categories.  Neuropathies  may  be  classified  by  etiology  (genetic  versus  acquired),  physiology  (demyelinating  versus  axonal),  anatomy  (focal  versus  generalized,  sensory  versus  motor),  and  chronicity  (acute  versus  chronic).  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  major  categories  of  peripheral  nerve  disorders,  including  anterior  horn  cell  diseases,  using  a  combination  of  the  above  variables  to  classify  them.
