In a totally denervated of all muscles due to a severe brachial plexus injury, this can be categorized as pre-ganglionic lesions if we found the following data in EMG exam
1. Sensory NCV: good response
2. Motor NCV: good response
3. EMG: total denervation
4. EMG: partial denervation
B
EMG:
NCS shows absent motor conduction w/ intact sensory conduction;
- afferent sensory fibers will not undergo Wallerian degeneration following nerve root avulsion because cell bodies of afferent sensory fibers are located in dorsal root gangion which resides distally;
- if nerve conduction velocity demonstrates absence of both sensory and motor then lesion is post gangionic;
PE: anesthesia above the clavicle
- horner's syndrome: (pre-ganglionic injury)
- caused by avulsion of the T1 root resulting in interruption of the T1 sympathetic ganglion;
- results in interruption of sympathetic nerve supply to the eye;
- causes miosis (constriction of pupil), ptosis (dropping of upper eyelid), enophthalmos (sinking of the orbit), and anhydrosis (dry eyes);
- abnormal axonal reflex;
- winging of scapula: (serratus anterior)
- weak levator scapula & rhomboids:
- elevated hemidiaphragm (determined from CXR);
