Clinical Correlation Between Nerve Conduction Studies And Neurosonography In Peripheral Neuropathies

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND - Peripheral neuropathies are the most common neuromuscular disorder seen by neurologists. Nerve ultrasonography is a recently emerging tool for visualizing the structure, architecture and vascularity of peripheral nerves. OBJECTIVES -To study the Clinical correlation between Nerve conduction studies and Neurosonography in peripheral neuropathies. METHODOLOGY - All patients with peripheral neuropathy were included in the study from February 2016 to January 2018. RESULTS -The most common aetiologies for peripheral neuropathy were diabetes and leprosy. Nerve ultrasound showed corresponding changes in the above conditions. CONCLUSION – Nerve ultrasound is useful in peripheral neuropathy and can complement other diagnostic investigations.
