Subject: neurapraxia
The correct spelling is neurapraxia (Stedman's) and not neuropraxia.
Try hearing for prickly or tickly, coz both suite with the condition.

neurapraxia versus neuropraxia
Subject: neurapraxia versus neuropraxia
Any thoughts on this? My SR is bringing it up as "neuropraxia," but the searches on the net that I have done say that is an incorrect spelling and it should be neurapraxia. Funny enough, Stedman's Neurology/Neurosurgery Word book third addition lists them BOTH!  That is what is throwing me. What do you think? Thanks!

Current Medical Terminology have neurapraxia. Neuropraxia is not even listed.
Current Medical Terminology has definition as "neurapraxia(not neuropraxia) a conduction block (either partial or total) of a segment of nerve fiber causing a temporary paralysis. Usage: "The patient has a right ulnar nerve neurapraxia."
