PROGNOSIS OF NEUROPRAXIA, AXONOTMESIS AND NEUROTMESIS Flashcards
1
Q
Axonal conduction and function is usually restored completely once cause of compression is identified and addressed.
A
NEUROPRAXIA
2
Q
Requires focal remyelination
A
NEUROPRAXIA
3
Q
May need an interval of rest..
A
NEUROPRAXIA
4
Q
May occasionally leave mild permanent damage
A
NEUROPRAXIA
5
Q
May recover completely but some degree of permanent damage is likely; affected axons must regenerate.
A
AXONOTMESIS
6
Q
Requires period of immobilization or modified use. Treatment according to cause, possibly anti-inflammatories
A
AXONOTMESIS
7
Q
In cases involving viable distal segments, complete recovery is hypothetically possible but unlikely – axons must regenerate.
A
NEUROTMESIS
