Nerve Conduction Studies in Newly diagnosed cases of Hypothyroidism
The objective of this study is to evaluate the nerve conduction studies parameters and compare neurological signs and symptoms in patients with newly diagnosed hypothyroidism in Punjab. A prospective study was performed in forty adult female patients with newly diagnosed hypothyroidism and equal no. of age matched controls was also taken. Patients were evaluated initially clinically, then bioch...
متن کاملComparison of magnetic and electrical phrenic nerve stimulation in assessment of phrenic nerve conduction time.
Cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS), a nonvolitional test of diaphragm function, is an easy means for measuring the latency of the diaphragm motor response to phrenic nerve stimulation, namely, phrenic nerve conduction time (PNCT). In this application, CMS has some practical advantages over electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve in the neck (ES). Although normal ES-PNCTs have been consiste...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Interscalene Catheter Complicated by Persistent Phrenic Nerve Palsy
A 76-year-old male presented for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in the beach chair position. A preoperative interscalene nerve catheter was placed under direct ultrasound-guidance utilizing a posterior in-plane approach. On POD 2, the catheter was removed. Three weeks postoperatively, the patient reported worsening dyspnea with a subsequent chest X-ray demonstrating an elevated right...
متن کاملFacial nerve paralysis: report of two cases of Bell's palsy.
The cases of an ll-year-old white male and an 8-year-old black male with facial paralysis are presented. Included are descriptions of diagnosis, clinical course, treatment, prognosis, and recommendations for future cases. Facial nerve paralysis is an important cause of morbidity in children. Its presentation can be frightening for both the child and parents. The most common cause of facial nerv...
متن کاملPhrenic nerve conduction time in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Phrenic nerve conduction was studied in 28 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Conduction time was prolonged in 18 (64.3%) patients and serial studies showed progressive improvement with restoration of normal values in the majority by 12 weeks. The conduction abnormalities had a positive correlation with the extent of the disease, morbidity and mortality. Phrenic nerve conduction time was fo...
