Denervation hypertrophy in L5 radiculopathy.
A 47-year-old white male with a background history of chronic left sciatic pain developed a lump on the left thigh. Muscle MRI showed changes consistent with myotome L5 hypertrophy, while a lumbosacral MRI showed a disc protrusion at L4-L5. Continuous complex repetitive discharges became evident through needle electromyogram with a muscle biopsy showing chronic denervation changes. Botulinum to...
متن کاملDenervation pseudohypertrophy of calf muscles associated with diabetic neuropathy
Denervation of muscle usually leads to muscle atrophy with fatty replacement but, uncommonly, also results in muscle hypertrophy or pseudohypertrophy with fatty replacement. We report the ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a patient with diffuse fatty infiltration of calf muscles as a result of denervation pseudohypertrophy. The elevated fasting glucose, neurogeni...
متن کاملMuscle hypertrophy after partial denervation: a human case.
While undergoing long-term physiotherapy, a 41 year old woman with a chronic S1 radiculopathy developed progressive, painless enlargement of the weak calf. Gastrocnemius muscle biopsy disclosed changes of partial denervation and reinnervation, with small groups of type I and type II atrophic muscle fibres and abundant hypertrophic fibres of both types but mostly type II. It is postulated that, ...
متن کاملMR imaging of the lower leg versus clinical electrophysiologic examination in the differential diagnosis of neurogenic foot drop.
Patients with foot drop are frequently seen in clinical practice. Foot drop may be due to a lesion of the common peroneal nerve, L5 radiculopathy, or a partial sciatic nerve lesion or lesions involving the lumbosacral plexus or cauda equina. Nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) are of great help in localizing the site of the lesion. EMG can help detect evidence of denervation in ...
متن کاملDoes Electrodiagnostic Confirmation of Radiculopathy Predict Pain Reduction after Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection? A Multicenter Study.
OBJECTIVE Minimal definitive literature identifies patients with radicular pain who would benefit most from epidural steroid injection (ESI). This study investigated if electromyographic (EMG) confirmation of radiculopathy with active or chronic denervation predicts a positive treatment outcome following ESI. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study of adults who underwent EMG and subsequent transfor...
