Introduction: The purpose of this study was to develop an evidence-based guideline for the use of neuromuscular ultrasound in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods: Two questions were asked: (1) What is the accuracy of median nerve cross-sectional area enlargement as measured with ultrasound for the diagnosis of CTS? (2) What added value, if any, does neuromuscular ultrasound p...

Electrodiagnostic data have not been previously reported in tabes dorsalis. A patient with tabes dorsalis is described whose nerve conduction studies and median nerve somatosensory evoked responses (SEPs) were normal. H-reflexes were absent. SEPs of the tibial nerve suggested posterior column dysfunction. These electrodiagnostic findings correlate precisely with the known pathology of tabes dor...

We describe the clinical and electrodiagnostic features of 8 infants who showed no visual responsiveness and were thought to be severely visually impaired on initial examination. Subsequently all children developed normal visual capabilities and the previously abnormal visually evoked potentials became normal. The clinical and electrodiagnostic features of these infants suggest that they suffer...

OBJECTIVES Peripheral neuropathy is a well-documented disabling sequela of major burn injury. These lesions are associated with both thermal and electrical injuries that may be frequently undiagnosed or overlooked in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of burn-related neuropathy in our database and to investigate the clinical correlates for both mononeuro...

Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a presynaptic neuromuscular junction disorder, which has unique features on electrodiagnostic testing. Here we describe a middle aged lady with symmetric, progressive, areflexic weakness in lower limbs, who had the typical electrodiagnostic findings of diffuse attenuation of motor amplitudes, and increase in these amplitudes after brief exercise of the muscl...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and related characteristics of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in orchardists and to investigate the association between electrodiagnostic severity and physical examinations. METHODS Between July 2013 and September 2014, 377 subjects (174 men and 203 women) visited the Gyeongsang National University Hospital's Center for Farmer's Safety and Health. All the s...

Objective To demonstrate the importance of recognizing and separating nonmedian nerve-related symptoms from those related to median nerve compression at the carpal tunnel. Methods The records of 80 patients, aged 31-82 years (39 males and 41 females), who had undergone median nerve decompression using open and endoscopic release surgery, were reviewed. Peripheral electrodiagnostic studies wer...

Objective: This study investigated the correlations between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) in patients with ulnar neuropathy at elbow (UNE).Methods:In total, 46 who underwent MRI NCS a single center from 2014 to 2018 were included. Motor studies, including segmental inching tests, sensory performed. The 5-point severity score was evaluated based on signal ch...
