The 20 Best Wallerian Degeneration Doctors Near Me in Tucson, AZ

Wallerian degeneration is a condition that causes the loss of peripheral nerve function (peripheral nerve disease) through degeneration of nerve cells. This condition has two main causes: 1) degenerative diseases affecting nerve cells, such as Friedreich’s disease, and 2) traumatic injury to the peripheral nerves. Common causes of traumatic nerve injury are injuries that affect the central nervous system, such as cerebral infarction (stroke), hemorrhage (excessive bleeding), tumors, and head injury. Other causes are direct traumatic injuries to a nerve.
