On the tenth day of admission, nerve conduction studies showed reduced amplitude of sensory and motor action potentials from all the nerves tested (median sensory 1-5 uV; ulnar sensory 2-1 uV; sural sensory 1-2 uV; median motor 5-5 mV; peroneal motor 1-3 mV). The fastest sensory and motor conduction velocities and the shortest distal motor latencies, and F latencies were normal. EMG studies with a concentric needle electrode were normal, except for a slight increment of polyphasia. Blink reflex studies were normal, as was repetitive stimulation. Brain stem auditory evoked responses, somatosensory
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
