What is neuromuscular diseases?
Disorders that affect diverse parts of the nervous systems involved in muscle control or the recognition of skin peripheral stimuli as different sensations. They can involve different levels: brain, spinal cord, nerve, neuromuscular junction or muscle.

• Inherited neuropathies: Charcot  Marie Tooth (CMT)
• Nutritional deficiency neuropathy: B12, B6, B1
• Small-fiber neuropathy
• Toxic neuropathy: alcohol, heavy metals
• Others

Plexopathies:

• Brachial plexopathies
• Lumbosacral plexopathies

Radiculopathies:

• Cervical and lumbosacral

Neuromuscular junction disorders:

Muscle disorders-myopathies:

• Congenital myopathies
• Inflammatory myopathies: dermatomyositis, polymyositis, inclusion body myositis
• Metabolic myopathies: McArdle disease
