How pure are dermatomes
Second question from the same patient （brachial plexopathy)
say, the thumb is in C6 dermatome. Does it mean all C6 sensory fibers go to this dermatomes and only C6 fibers go to this dermatomes?
this patient has completely normal median SNAP amplitude from the thumb ( comparable to the normal side) but completely unobtainable from the long finger ( including mid palm stim).

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
