| Neuritis is a complex process involving inflammation of the
nerves, resulting in irritation that interferes with normal nerve
function and the areas served. Specifically, it affects the peripheral
nerves (those outside the brain, spinal cord, or central nervous
system), blocking sensory and motor functions, with pronounced symptoms.
