Abstract

ABSTRACT

Electrodiagnosis has a prominent role in the diagnosis of common entrapment neuropathies (carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy at the elbow) and plexopathies (idiopathic brachial plexopathy and diabetic lumbar radiculoplexopathy). The relevant anatomy and pathology of these disorders is reviewed in the context of electrodiagnosis and prognosis.

KEYWORDS

Carpal tunnel syndrome - diabetic amyotrophy - diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexopathy - idiopathic brachial plexopathy - median neuropathy - Parsonage-Turner syndrome - ulnar neuropathy
