Nervous system disease refers to a general class of medical conditions affecting the nervous system.
They can be divided into:
- Central nervous system disease in the CNS
- Peripheral neuropathy in the PNS
The term neuropathy is sometimes defined to include any disorder of the nervous system.[1] With this usage, the terms "nervous system disease" and "neuropathy" would be synonymous.
