Neuroimaging Markers for Differential Diagnosis Between Multifocal Motor Neuropathy and Multifocal Acquired Demyelinating Sensory and Motor Neuropathy [PDF]
Introduction. Similar asymmetric patterns of motor disorders and neurophysiological changes complicate the differential diagnosis between multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (MADSAM) as two

The humeral suspension technique: a novel operation for deltoid paralysis [PDF]
Isolated deltoid paralysis is a rare pathology that can occur after axillary nerve injury due to shoulder trauma or infection. This condition leads to loss of deltoid function that can cause glenohumeral instability and inferior subluxation, resulting in

Brachial plexus cyst in a patient with multifocal motor neuropathy [PDF]
A 61-year-old woman was followed for multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) with conduction block since young adulthood. She had bilateral clinical and neurophysiologic involvement of both median and ulnar nerves, as also the right peroneal nerve. In a recent reevaluation, we decided to complete her investigation with a brachial plexus magnetic resonance ...
