Axonotmesis

Axonotmesis is part of Seddon's classificationscheme used to classify nervedamage. It is a more severe nerve injury with disruption of the neuronalaxon, but with maintenance of the Schwann sheath. This type of nerve damage may cause paralysisof the motor, sensory, and autonomic. If the force creating the nerve damage is removed in a timely fashion, the axon may regenerate, leading to recovery.
