Vasa nervorum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasa nervorum are small arteries that provide blood supply to peripheral nerves. A decrease in blood flow through the vasa nervorum has been implicated in the development of diabetic neuropathy. Arteritis of the vasa nervorum leads to mononeuritis multiplex or polyneuropathy.
The term is often confused with nervi vascularis
