Sensory nerve conduction studies of the superficial peroneal nerve in L5 radiculopathy.
BACKGROUND Theoretically, sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) of the superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) should be preserved when L5 roots are damaged. Previous study indicated that SNAP of SPN was lost or reduced in amplitude in patiens with L5 radiculopathy. To address this issue, this study compared results of SPN sensory conduction studies between healthy subjects and patients with L5 radicu...
متن کاملMusculus extensor digitorum brevis is clinical and electrophysiological marker for L5/S1 radicular lesions.
In clinical electromyography (EMG) musculus extensor digitorum brevis (MEDB) is known as "the marker" for L5/sl radiculopathy. Radiculopathy is mainly sensory syndrome in which the pain appears in innervation's zone of one or more spinal nerves. Moreover, in clinical practice it is also known that radiculopathy is not only sensory disorders but also may be followed by muscle weakness and atroph...

متن کاملSolitary Epidural Lipoma with Ipsilateral Facet Arthritis Causing Lumbar Radiculopathy
A 55-year-old obese man (body mass index, 31.6 kg/m(2)) presented radiating pain and motor weakness in the left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an epidural mass posterior to the L5 vertebral body, which was isosignal to subcutaneous fat and it asymmetrically compressed the left side of the cauda equina and the exiting left L5 nerve root on the axial T1 weighted images. Severe arthritis o...
