Which of the following is not true about axonotmesis ?
Correct answer: C. Intact neural sheath is not present
- A. Impairment of both sensory and motor function
- B. Wallerian degeneration
- C. Intact neural sheath is not present
- D. Reversible loss, which will be regenerated i 6-8 wks
Explanation
In axonotmesis, the axon is interrupted but the surrounding neural connective-tissue sheath remains sufficiently intact to guide regeneration; Wallerian degeneration occurs distal to the injury. Therefore, saying that the neural sheath is not intact is false.
