The WHO classification of polyradiculoneuropathies and polyradiculopeuritis is based on the criteria of etiological (genetic and acquired) and morphological (axon and myelopathy). Radicular lesions (subarachnoid and epidural), ganglioradicular, funicular, plexus and neural lesions are distinguished along the length of the nerve.
