ABS TRACT Ischemic monomelic neuropathy (IMN) is defined as the infarction of the distal part of axons in the peripheral nervous system because of a reduced blood flow to the relevant extremity. When suspected of the presence of such a case, it is essential to perform an electroneuromyography (ENMG) test and to detect the damaged area. In this report, we presented a case of a male patient having a stabbing injury at his left axilla and diagnosed with IMN, since peripheral nerve damage developed farther away from the distal part of the same extremity. Moreover, we aimed to emphasize the importance of IMN diagnosis in patients with trauma, which is usually ignored because of being an infrequently recognized type of neuropathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
