Mononeuritis multiplex is a condition which is characterised by multiple individual nerve palsies, for example an ulnar nerve palsy in one arm, a radial nerve palsy in the other arm, and an asymmetrical foot drop due to a lateral popliteal nerve lesion.

N.B.: if enough nerves are affected by focal lesions then this condition may mimic a diffuse neuropathy. However, the history may reveal the discrete onset on each individual nerve palsy.
