1938 I. S. Wechsler in Jrnl. Amer. Med. Assoc. 4 June 1913/2 It is suggested that the term multiple neuropathy, polyneuropathy or peripheral neuropathy be substituted for multiple neuritis in those cases in which both the cause and the pathologic changes point to a degenerative process.

1968 Brain 91 233 Conduction velocity is most likely to be slowed in the polyneuropathies in which there is segmental demyelination of the nerve fibres, as in diphtheritic and diabetes polyneuropathy.

1974 R. Passmore & J. S. Robson Compan. Med. Stud. III. xxxiv. 36/2 Polyneuropathy arises from dietary deficiencies, chemical poisoning and may be a manifestation of numerous diseases.

2003 New Scientist 6 Dec. 14/4 Patients on statins have a substantially increased risk of polyneuropathy, a condition characterised by weakness and numbness in the extremities.
