Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: consensus guidelines on ...
网页The aim was to capture interdisciplinary expertise from a large group of clinicians, reflecting practice from across the UK and further, to inform subsequent development of a national consensus guidance for optimal management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Methods Between September 2015 and October 2017, a specialist interest group including neurology, neurosurgery ...
The basics of electromyography | Journal of Neurology, …
网页Electromyography (EMG), the recording of electrical activity in muscle, should be regarded as an extension of the clinical examination. It can distinguish myopathic from neurogenic muscle wasting and weakness. It can detect abnormalities such as chronic denervation or fasciculations in clinically normal muscle. It can, by determining the distribution of neurogenic abnormalities, differentiate ...
EEG in neurological conditions other than epilepsy: when does it …
网页Although the electroencephalogram (EEG) is a reliable test to assess cerebral function, its value in diagnosis and evaluation of neurological conditions apart from epilepsy has been largely superceded in recent years by other investigations with greater specificity and sensitivity. Is EEG still worthwhile, and in which cases can it provide information that affects management? Broadly speaking ...
Multifocal motor neuropathy: controversies and priorities
网页Despite 30 years of research there are still significant unknowns and controversies associated with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) including disease pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria and treatment. Foremost relates to the underlying pathophysiology, specifically whether MMN represents an axonal or demyelinating neuropathy and whether the underlying pathophysiology is focused at the node ...
Nerve conduction studies: essentials and pitfalls in practice
网页A neurologist has sent a patient for nerve conduction studies (NCS) and has received the report, but what does it mean? We hope to remove some of the mysteries that may surround NCS. The techniques and how they are affected by disease are described in general terms. These principles can be applied to specific conditions discussed elsewhere. We also discuss the numerous pitfalls that may be ...

Sensory sleep starts | Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery
网页Sleep starts, also known as hypnic jerks, hypnagogic jerks, and predormital myoclonus, are benign, physiological phenomena.1-5 They usually present with motor manifestations of transient body jerks at onset of sleep, and are often triggered by fatigue, stress, and sleep deprivation.1-5Sensory manifestations have been well described as accompaniments of the movements.1 4 5 To our knowledge, the ...
Chronic inflammatory axonal polyneuropathy | Journal of …
网页Objectives Chronic inflammatory axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) is defined on the basis of the clinical, electrophysiological and nerve biopsy findings and therapeutic responses of ‘immunotherapy responding chronic axonal polyneuropathy (IR-CAP)’. Methods The diagnosis of IR-CAP was made when all of three of the following mandatory criterion were met: (1) acquired, chronic progressive or ...
