Medical (general)
On a medical form, the section headed "disabling effects of medical condition" is completed with the single term "Nervenausfall". Unfortunately I have very little other info and don't even know what the medical condition is. Any ideas of an English medical term for this?

loss of nerve function
I would just use a simple, general translation. Google "loss of nerve function" and you will find lots of hits!
www.merckvetmanual.com: Trauma is the most common cause of acute monoplegia. Traumatic loss of nerve function may be due to neurapraxia, axonotmesis, axonostenosis, or neurotmesis. (I know it is a vet manual but animals have nerves, too!)
www.nlm.nih.gov: The outcome varies. The disorder may be prolonged, or there may be repeated episodes of symptoms. Complete recovery is possible, but permanent loss of nerve function may also occur.

compete disruption of nerves s.u.
It would be nice to have more context:
1. Which part of the body etc.
2. there are different disruptions of nerves e.g.
neurapraxia--conduction failure, axonotmesis, neurotmesis--partial or complete severance of a nerve, with disruption of the axon and its myelin sheath and the connective tissue elements.
Seddon's classification is a scheme for describing nerve injury.
1. Neurapraxia -- pressure on the affected nerve with no loss of continuity.
2. Axonotmesis -- neural tube intact, but axons are disrupted. These nerves are likely to recover.
3. Neurotmesis -- the neural tube is severed. These injuries are likely permanent without repair, and will likely only achieve partial recovery at best.

loss of nerve function
Since "Ausfall" in connection with e.g. an organ usually means loss of function or failure, "Nervenausfall" might very well refer to "loss of nerve function" here. It's also a pretty general term, considering that we don't know anything about the cause or chances of recovery.
