    Notes: Abstract The Italian CTS Study Group performed a wide multicentric and multiparametric study to quantify the increase of electrodiagnostic sensitivity using an extended neurophysiological protocol and particularly segmental and comparative tests. The study also evaluated the clinical features of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) diagnosed by these tests, using validated physician- and patient-oriented measurements. The study group was composed of 740 patients for a total of 1123 idiopathic CTS hands. Overall, the sensitivity of standard tests (median digit-wrist sensory conduction velocity and wrist-thenar distal motor latency) was 83.5%. Comparative/segmental tests disclosed abnormal findings in a further 11.4% of cases, providing CTS electrodiagnosis in about 7 of 10 “standard negative” cases. The overall sensitivity of the electrodiagnostic protocol was 94.9%. The CTS population diagnosed by segmental/comparative tests had a clinical picture characterized by a high percentage of pain, and severe discomfort but no limitation in functional daily activity. Our data confirm the usefulness of a complete neurophysiological assessment by using segmental/comparative tests when standard tests yield normal results.

    Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy in childhood: clinical and electrophysiological features (1991)
    Springer
    Child's nervous system 7 (1991), S. 191-196 
    Details
    ISSN: 1433-0350
    Keywords: Chronic, inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ; Childhook ; Electrophysiological features
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Five children with chronic progressive polyneuropathy but no familial history of it showed electrophysiological evidence of demyelination with partial conduction block, temporal dispersion, and focal slowing of nerve conduction velocities in multiple nerves. These findings are indicative of an acquired demyelinating polyneuropathy that is chronic and inflammatory and differentiate this condition from most of the inherited neuropathies. It is very important to recognize this entity because of the avaibility of various treatments.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The sporadic distal myopathies are uncommon primary muscle diseases, the pathogenesis of which is still unclear. The inclusion body myositides are inflammatory myopathies, the distal form of which presents some features resembling those of sporadic distal myopathy. A case is reported of a patient showing features of both the first and the second forms.

    Notes: Summary A case is reported in which retrobulbar neuritis preceded Guillain-Barré syndrome by 4 weeks. The visual evoked potential latencies were prolonged. After peripheral nervous system signs had cleared, median and peroneal somatosensory evoked potentials showed prolonged cervical N13, scalp N20 and L3-scalp conduction times.

    Notes: Summary A patient with post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism, basal ganglia calcification, parkinsonism and seizures is reported. The parkinsonism was resistant to levodopa therapy but was not significantly improved by the correction of hypoparathyroidism. Previously reported cases are discussed, as well as the relationship between hypoparathyroidism, calcification of basal ganglia, parkinsonism and epilepsy.

    Notes: Summary Three cases are reported of femoral neuropathy in patients receiving oral anticoagulants. After consideration of the pertinent anatomy, possible pathogenesis and CT demonstration, spontaneous hematoma of the iliac muscle is suggested as the cause of the femoral neuropathy.

Sebbene l'Amiotrofia Nevralgica sia a tutt'oggi un'affezione ad eziologia sconosciuta essa presenta un caratteristico quadro clinico con segni e sintomi abbastanza tipici. È importante formulare una corretta diagnosi, perchè nonostante la gravità del quadro sintomatologico iniziale la prognosi è in definitiva buona.
    Notes: Abstract The clinical features of 61 patients with Neuralgic Amyotrophy are analysed with special reference to recovery time, recurrence and residual deficits in 42 of these patients. Although the etiology is still unknown, N.A. has a characteristic clinical picture with a fairly typical pattern of symptoms and signs. A correct diagnosis is important because in spite of the severity and extent of the initial symptoms the overall prognosis in good.

    Low back pain due to hypertrophic roots as presenting symptom of CIDP (1997)

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Solo recentemente sono stati documentati casi di polineuropatia infiammatoria cronica demielinizzante (PICD) con ipertrofia sintomatica delle radici nervose. Una donna di 31 anni lamentava dolore lombare fluttuante con recente peggioramento. L'assenza dei riflessi tendinei ed una lieve debolezza dei muscoli interossei della mano suggerivano la presenza di una neuropatia diffusa. I reperti elettrofisiologici ed istologici erano diagnostici per una PICD. Una RMN del rachide lombare mostrava un marcato aumento di dimensioni delle radici nervose con impregnazione dopo gadolinio. Questo caso amplia le modalità di presentazione della PICD. Ulteriori studi sono necessari per stabilire se l'impregnazione delle radici della cauda dopo somministrazione di gadolinio possa rappresentare uno strumento utile nella diagnosi della PICD ed un indice di attività della malattia al fine di monitorizzare la risposta alla terapia.
    Notes: Abstract Attention has recently been drawn to chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) with symptomatic nerve root hypertrophy. A 31-year-old woman had fluctuating and worsening low back pain. Absent tendon jerks and a slight weakness of the hand interossei muscles suggested a diffuse neuropathy. The electrophysiological and histological findings were diagnostic for CIDP. Lumbar spine MRI showed marked nerve root enlargement with gadolinium enhancement. This case widens the range of the clinical presentations of CIDP. Further studies are warranted to ascertain whether cauda equina gadolinium enhancement may be a useful tool in the diagnosis of CIDP and a marker of disease activity for monitoring response to therapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Gli autori riportano le proprie esperienze su 89 casi di amiotrofie spinali prossimali facendo alcune considerazioni sulle caratteristiche cliniche. Nel discutere i criteri di classificazione e le modalità di trasmissione, gli autori suggeriscono l'ipotesi che le singole forme in cui è divisa l'amiotrofia spinale prossimale possano essere considerate come una malattia unitaria con ampia variabilità per età di esordio e gravità, dovuta generalmente, alla trasmissione di un gene autosomico recessivo.
    Notes: Abstract A report on 89 cases of proximal Spinal Muscular Atrophy with observations on the clinical features, criteria of classification and modes of inheritance. The various forms into which SMA is divided probably represent a single disease that may begin at any age and may vary in severity, due, as a rule, to an autosomal recessive gene.
