neurotmesis

neurotmesis

 [noor″rot-me´sis]
partial or complete severance of a nerve, with disruption of the axon and its myelin sheath and the connective tissue elements.

neu·rot·me·sis

(nū'rot-mē'sis),
A type of axon loss lesion resulting from focal peripheral nerve injury in which, at the lesion site, the nerve stroma is damaged to varying degrees, as well as the axon and myelin, which degenerate from that point distally; with the most severe neurotmesis lesions, the gross continuity of the nerve is disrupted. See: axonotmesis, neurapraxia.

neurotmesis

/neu·rot·me·sis/ (noor″ot-me´sis) partial or complete severance of a nerve, with disruption of the axon and its myelin sheath and the connective tissue elements.

neurotmesis

[noo͡r′ōtmē′sis]
Etymology: Gk, neuron + tmesis, cutting apart
a peripheral nerve injury in which the nerve is completely disrupted by laceration or traction. It requires surgical approximation, with unpredictable recovery.

neurotmesis

complete division of a nerve, usually as the result of accident or trauma; nerve repair does not normally occur without surgical intervention

In an attempt to classify the physical and functional state of the damaged nerve trunk, these injuries have also been classified into three broad categories by Seddon (5): neurapraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis [Table 2].

Therefore differentiating between neuropraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis is essential, but it is time dependent and requires follow-up EDX studies as well as histologic evidence.
Epidemiology of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries evaluated with electrodiagnostic studies in a tertiary care hospital clinic
Based on the degrees of damage in the nerve and surrounding connective tissue, peripheral nerve damage may be classified as neurapraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis, with the latter being a severe type of peripheral nerve injury [86].
