In the results of an electromyography comes: polyneuropathy with axonal features
What does "axonal features" mean?

Axonal features means that there is evidence to suggest damage to the axon as opposed to the myelin sheath.
Essentially axonal damage leads to a reduction of amplitude with preservation of nerve conduction velocity whereas demyelination results in a reduction of conduction velocity.

Thanks a lot. What difference does axonal damage make in the symptoms that patient might experience? Is there chances of slow improvement of such neuropathy?– AsmaniJan 29 '18 at 14:48
