Electrodiagnosis of demyelinating neuropathies.
The inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies constitute a significant proportion of the acquired polyneuropathies. Major progress in finding the causes and in the treatment of these neuropathies has been made over the last decade. Early recognition is of paramount importance, because timely and appropriate treatment can largely reduce morbidity and disability. Electrodiagnosis plays a key role i...
متن کاملClinical features and electrodiagnosis of ulnar neuropathies.
In this review, we delineate clinical, electrodiagnostic, and radiographic features of ulnar mononeuropathies. Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE) is most commonly due to lesions at the level of the retroepicondylar groove (RTC), with approximately 25% at the humeroulnar arcade (HUA). The term 'cubital tunnel syndrome' should be reserved for the latter. The diagnostic accuracy of nerve conducti...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of inherited demyelinating neuropathies.
The past 15 years have witnessed the identification of more than 25 genes responsible for inherited neuropathies in humans, many associated with primary alterations of the myelin sheath. A remarkable body of work in patients, as well as animal and cellular models, has defined the clinical and molecular genetics of these illnesses and shed light on how mutations in associated genes produce the h...
متن کاملElectrodiagnosis of brachial plexopathies and proximal upper extremity neuropathies.
This article describes the normal anatomy of the brachial plexus and its major terminal branches, as well as the major causes and clinical presentations of lesions of these structures. An approach to electrodiagnosis of brachial plexopathies and proximal upper extremity neuropathies is provided, with an emphasis on those nerve conduction studies and portions of the needle examination, which per...
متن کاملDemyelinating prenatal and infantile developmental neuropathies.
The prenatal and infantile neuropathies are an uncommon and complex group of conditions, most of which are genetic. Despite advances in diagnostic techniques, approximately half of children presenting in infancy remain without a specific diagnosis. This review focuses on inherited demyelinating neuropathies presenting in the first year of life. We clarify the nomenclature used in these disorder...
