| Neuromonitoring can detect stimulation of these nerves and thereby prevent a mechanical or thermal injury that can result in neurapraxia or axonotmesis. She responded to muscle stimulation distal to the nerve injury, and posture and function improved in less than 6 months, which suggests accessory nerve neurapraxia. In cases of neurapraxia or axonotmesis (even partial), some axons remain intact with their normal abductor or adductor function. |
