Mononeuropathy is a type of damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord (peripheral neuropathy). Mononeuropathy is most often caused by injury, although body-wide (systemic) disorders may cause isolated nerve damage. Long-term pressure on a nerve due to swelling or injury can result in mononeuropathy. The covering of the nerve (myelin sheath) or part of the nerve cell (the axon) may be damaged. This damage slows or prevents signals from traveling through the damaged nerves. Mononeuropathy may involve any part of the body.
Neuropathy is a complication of a number of different medical conditions and is a common condition. Three types of nerve can be involved; autonomic nerves, motor nerves and sensory nerves. Sometimes single nerves, or nerve sets are affected. Bell's Palsy is a specific example of a neuropathy of the facial nerve, affecting the muscles and skin of the face.
