BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Neonatal bulbar weakness (BW) has various etiologies and a broad prognostic range. We aimed to report outcomes in a large series of children with neonatal BW and explore the association of orofacial electrodiagnostic data with outcome. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the files of children who presented with facial, lingual, laryngeal, or pharyngeal weakness at bir...

BACKGROUND Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal-dominant painless peripheral neuropathy characterized by episodes of repeated focal pressure neuropathies at sites of entrapment/compression, with a considerable variability in the clinical course. Electrodiagnostic and genetic testing are important in the diagnostic evaluation of these patients. CASE P...

A patient with bilateral cubital syndrome complicated by anomalous innervation is presented. The electrodiagnostic approach to patients with this neuropathy is reviewed emphasizing new developments. The interpretation of the findings in this patient centers around issues of pathophysiology and methodology.

We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome with enhancement of multiple cranial nerves seen with postcontrast MR imaging. Clinical symptoms and electrodiagnostic studies reflected abnormalities of some but not all of the enhancing cranial nerves.

At this time, there are no widely accepted criteria for the diagnosis of multifocal motor neuropathy. Furthermore, there is insufficient empirical data to define clinical and laboratory features that may reliably separate certain lower motor neuron syndromes with overlapping features as distinct. The AAEM therefore developed five criteria through a formal consensus process that are described in...

The aim of conducting this study was to determine the prevalence of PTS among patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The study was conducted from March 2014 to April 2015 in the EDX ward and clinic of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the university hospital; Baqiytallah, a large referral practice and research center in Tehran. We included patients with clinical symptoms and signs of CTS. ...

Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by self-limited, recurrent compressive mononeuropathies at common entrapment sites precipitated by trivial injuries. This disorder typically develops in early adulthood. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed diffuse mild demyelinating neuropathies with entrapment over common entrapment s...

OBJECTIVES Peripheral neuropathy is a well-documented disabling sequela of major burn injury. These lesions are associated with both thermal and electrical injuries that may be frequently undiagnosed or overlooked in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of burn-related neuropathy in our database and to investigate the clinical correlates for both mononeuro...
