what are two conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system?!


Question:

Answers:
Generally, multiple sclerosis and neurofibromatosis. The former is a demyelinating disease of unknown origin that can strike at any age, but tends to afflict those of middle age (40s or 50s). The latter is a genetic condition where neurofibromas--benign tumors--form on the peripheral nerves.
These conditions may also affect the CNS, but are known most prominently for their peripheral effects.

Other Answers:
axonal degeneration (Wallerian degeneration, dying back) or demyelinating degeneration. Some overlap is common.
