Sensory Nerve Conduction Studies in Neuralgic Amyotrophy
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 11/05/09

van Alfen N et al. – Neuralgic amyotrophy is a painful, episodic peripheral nerve disorder localized to the brachial plexus. Sensory symptoms occur in 80% of the patients. The authors assessed the frequency of abnormalities in sensory nerve conduction studies of the lateral and medial antebrachial cutaneous, radial sensory, median sensory, and ulnar sensory nerves in 112 patients...Brachial plexus sensory nerve conduction studies seem to be of little diagnostic value in neuralgic amyotrophy. These findings also indicate that some sensory lesions may be in the nerve roots instead of the plexus. An examination of normal sensory nerve conduction studies does not preclude neuralgic amyotrophy as a diagnosis.
