Nerve ultrasound in a case of multifocal motor neuropathy without conduction block.
Muscle & Nerve 2015 August
INTRODUCTION: Multifocal nerve enlargements and ultrastructural changes either corresponding or not to sites of existing conduction blocks have been described in demyelinating polyneuropathies using multiple imaging techniques.
METHODS: Using the emerging technique of peripheral nerve ultrasonography we investigated the peripheral nerves of a patient with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) without conduction block.
RESULTS: In this case of MMN without conduction blocks we found multifocal nerve enlargements in the ultrasonography and electrodiagnostic signs of acute and chronic denervation associated with positive anti-GM1 IgM antibodies.
CONCLUSIONS: This case shows that nerve ultrasound can be a complementary tool for diagnosing multifocal motor neuropathy without typical electrodiagnostic features.
