Slow nerve conduction velocity in cretins.

Moosa, A., and Dubowitz, V. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 852. Slow nerve conduction velocity in cretins. The ulnar and posterior tibial conduction velocities were measured in 6 untreated and 3 treated cretins. In 4 of the untreated patients, the conduction velocity of both nerves was slower than normal; in 1 patient the ulnar and in the other the posterior tibial nerve conduction velocity was slower than normal. There was a close agreement between bone
