Nerve conduction studies in adrenomyeloneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is an X linked metabolic disorder presenting with progressive spastic paraparesis in the third to fifth decade of life. Although peripheral neuropathy is also present in most patients, prominent pyramidal signs may make its clinical recognition difficult. The objective was to characterise the peripheral neuropathy in patients with AMN by nerve conduction st...
متن کاملMotor Nerve Conduction Studies
tion techniques, it is important to pursue more specialized methods of evaluating the peripheral nervous system. Additionally, nerves requiring needle excitation and less commonly studied nerves are of importance. From time-to-time patients may present with lesions affecting specific sensory branches that yield small amplitude responses or require averaging techniques to better define the desir...
متن کاملNerve conduction studies.
This article forms part of our 'Tests and results' series for 2011 which aims to provide information about common tests that general practitioners order regularly. It considers areas such as indications, what to tell the patient, what the test can and cannot tell you, and interpretation of results.
متن کاملNerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography in the Evaluation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Peripheral nerves are susceptible to a variety of injuries, often with coexistent orthopaedic trauma. Although the presence of nerve involvement in many circumstances may be clinically obvious, an appropriate therapeutic approach depends on more detailed information regarding the nature of the lesion. Electrodiagnostic studies (nerve conduction studies [NCS] and needle electromyography [EMG]) c...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve conduction in Miller Fisher syndrome.
Two cases of acute ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and arreflexia with high CSF protein are reported (Miller Fisher syndrome). Detailed EMG and nerve conduction studies showed abnormal conduction in peripheral sensory fibres from the initial stages of the illness in both patients. Careful review up to 10 months after the onset was required to document the sensory conduction abnormality properly in one...
