متن کاملThe spectrum of polyneuropathies in childhood detected with electromyography.
Only a few studies have been reported describing polyneuropathies in a series of children. To study the clinical and neurophysiological spectrum of polyneuropathies in a large series of children and obtain an overview of their etiologies, this retrospective study reevaluated all electromyograms and electrophysiologic studies performed between 1995 and 2004 in children under 17 years of age at t...
متن کاملDecreased electrical excitability of peripheral nerves in demyelinating polyneuropathies.
Not recognising the presence of decreased excitability may give rise to a seemingly low compound muscle action potential, which may lead erroneously to the conclusion of conduction block. To quantify decreased electrical excitability, stimulation-response curves and the current needed to achieve 90% of the maximal compound muscle action potential amplitude, i90, were obtained in 17 healthy cont...
