【 摘 要 】

Avulsion of C5 and C7 nerve roots was confirmed intraoperatively in a 21 year old male presenting after motor vehicle accident with confirmed absence of somatosensory evoked potentials upon stimulation via ultra–high-frequency ultrasound (70 MHz). Ultra–high-frequency ultrasound can be used as a reliable tool to directly visualise nerve injury.
