Motor root conduction in neuralgic amyotrophy: evidence of proximal conduction block.
OBJECTIVE To determine the presence and role of proximal conduction block in neuralgic amyotrophy. METHODS Percutaneous electrical stimulation of cervical roots and brachial plexus was employed in eight patients with neuralgic amyotrophy. Root to Erb's point compound muscle action potential amplitude ratios for abductor digiti minimi, extensor digitorum communis, biceps, and deltoid muscles w...

متن کاملConduction block in acute motor axonal neuropathy.
Guillain-Barré syndrome is divided into two major subtypes, acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and acute motor axonal neuropathy. The characteristic electrophysiological features of acute motor axonal neuropathy are reduced amplitude or absence of distal compound muscle action potentials indicating axonal degeneration. In contrast, autopsy study results show early nodal changes in ...
متن کاملPediatric Hereditary Neuralgic Amyotrophy
Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy is a rare disorder characterized by the sudden onset of recurrent episodes of painful brachial plexus neuropathies, followed by atrophy within a few weeks. The authors present the case of a 5-year-old boy who developed hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy in the right upper limb after a gastroenteritis illness. He made a full and rapid recovery with the use of intrave...
