		Mononeuropathy involves loss of movement or sensation to an area caused by damage to a single nerve or nerve group.
		Mononeuropathy involves damage or destruction of an isolated nerve or nerve group.
		Mononeuropathy is most often caused by damage to a local area resulting from injury or trauma, although occasionally systemic disorders may cause isolated nerve damage (as with mononeuritis multiplex).

	Mononeuropathy in Diabetes Mellitus
		Diabetic amyotrophy, an uncommon syndrome defined by the triad of pain, severe asymmetric muscle weakness (usually of the lower extremities), and wasting of the iliopsoas and quadriceps, falls under the heading of the polyneuropathies.
		The mononeuropathies are most likely ischemic in nature, as suggested by the tendency toward nerves susceptible to compression and and toward fiber subtypes with the more tenuous blood supply.
		Like all of the mononeuropathies they are thought to be ischemic in nature and are usually fairly short lived.

	Diabetes Monitor - mononeuropathy and diplopia
		There doesn’t seem to be an association between diabetic mononeuropathy and other forms of diabetic neuropathy.
		For this reason patients with diabetes and a mononeuropathy should have other causes of neuropathy considered, including alcoholism, familial, nutritional, and drug-induced In the absence of other medical disorders known to cause neuropathy, extensive investigation is not likely necessary.
		Among the nerves that might be affected by a mononeuropathy are the cranial nerves (nerves supplying the head).

		Ulnar mononeuropathy at the elbow would be less likely than these other diagnoses but is still very much a possibility due to location of symptoms.
		An ulnar mononeuropathy at the wrist or elbow is still probable, with increased likelihood of the lesion being at the wrist since no proximal ulnar innervated muscles are affected.
		In evaluating for an ulnar mononeuropathy, to help determine whether the lesion is at the elbow or the wrist, ulnar sensory and motor nerve conductions should be performed.

		Mononeuropathy: A disorder of a single nerve or nerve trunk.
		Mononeuropathies may be due to entrapment, compression, stretch injury, ischemia, infection, or inflammation of a nerve.
		The most common entrapments are of the median nerve of the wrist (the carpal tunnel syndrome) and ulnar nerve of the elbow (the cubital tunnel syndrome).

	Neurologic Manifestations of HIV
		Mononeuropathy multiplex typically presents as multifocal or asymmetric sensory and motor deficits in the distribution of peripheral nerves or spinal roots.
		CMV-associated mononeuropathy multiplex can be extensive, involving several limbs or cranial nerves, or may preferentially involve the recurrent laryngeal nerve, resulting in hoarseness and vocal cord paresis.
		Entrapment neuropathies should be considered in disorders involving the ulnar, median, or tibial nerves, as cubital, carpal, and tarsal tunnel syndromes occur commonly in patients with AIDS wasting syndrome or extensive weight loss, and may also occur when human growth hormone is used to treat wasting or fat redistribution syndromes.

	AAPM&R - Case No. 49, cont
		Sensory loss of the medial hand, with sparing of the thumb region, reduces the likelihood that the complaints are due to carpal tunnel syndrome, median mononeuropathy of the forearm, or a focal spinal cord lesion.
		The remaining differential for unilateral hand weakness and numbness includes: C8/T1 radiculopathy, lower trunk brachial plexopathy (including thoracic outlet syndrome), and ulnar mononeuropathy at the elbow or wrist are consistent with the reported sensory and motor loss.
		The absence of complaints regarding the strength and sensation of thumb and lateral digits eliminates a median mononeuropathy at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome).

		Mononeuropathy is particularly common in persons with diabetes and may occur on the basis of focal ischemia, entrapment, compression or trauma to superficially placed nerves.
		Peroneal mononeuropathy typically produces sudden painless foot drop and, in addition to vascular factors, may be due to trauma because of the superficial location of the nerve at the fibular head.
		Ulnar mononeuropathy is probably also related to the vulnerable position of the nerve at the elbow.

		Results: Tibial motor mononeuropathy with focal conduction block between the popliteal fossa and ankle was identified by electrophysiological testing.
		Conclusions: The combination of electrophysiological localization and imaging in cases of unexplained tibial mononeuropathy may identify an unexpected structural cause.
