AIMS To validate the clinically obtained bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) by comparing it to the results of clitoroanal reflex (CAR) electrodiagnostic testing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty three women with detrusor overactivity underwent clinical examination and electrodiagnostic testing including evaluation of CAR latency using a Nicolet Viking IIe electrodiagnostic instrument, stimulating the p...

Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by self-limited, recurrent compressive mononeuropathies at common entrapment sites precipitated by trivial injuries. This disorder typically develops in early adulthood. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed diffuse mild demyelinating neuropathies with entrapment over common entrapment s...

background: prevalence of electrophysiological abnormalities in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy was evaluated. methods: a cross-sectional study was performed on 97 consecutive patients with the clinical diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculopathy. complete neurological examinations and standard electrophysiological evaluation was performed on the patients. results: patients under study had t...

Compressive femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathies from an iliacus hematoma are unusual presentation. We report a case of a 16-year-old boy who developed right femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathies as a complication of traumatic ipsilateral iliacus hematoma formation. The patient complained of numbness in the right thigh and calf as well as right leg weakness, and pain ...

Medial antebrachial cutaneous (MABC) nerve injury associated with iatrogenic causes has been rarely reported. Local anesthesia may be implicated in the etiology of such injury, but has not been reported. Two patients with numbness and painful paresthesia over the medial aspect of the unilateral forearm were referred for electrodiagnostic study, which revealed MABC nerve lesion in each case. The...

background: f-wave study, part of electrodiagnostic study, has had a controversial sensitivity in the diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculopathy. objectives: we aimed to compare f wave parameters obtained from the tibial nerve of both extremities in patients with unilateral s1 radiculopathy. materials and methods: the study was done from march to september 2015 in the electrodiagnostic laboratory o...
