"EMG - 5/09 - monofocal demyelinating s/l 'century' lesion in the median nerve near the wrist and ulnar nerve - bilateral."  I'm not sure what she is trying to say here.

Might be sentinel lesion - Olive

Ulcer Debrided In A Demyelinating Manner?
Apr 10, 2012

It actually sounds more like "ulcer debrided in a s/l dermolating manner," but I have no idea.  This doc often slurs, mixes words and makes up words, so I'm clueless here.  This is for a wound care doc in an ortho clinic. Does demyelinating manner make any sense?  Thanks!! ...
