The electrodiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is reviewed, including discussions of old and new techniques of motor and sensory nerve conduction, anomalous innervation, and needle electrode examination. A variety of sensitive nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are available for the evaluation of

A 57-year-old woman developed rapidly progressive, symmetric, extremity weakness, facial diplegia, ophthalmoplegia, respiratory insufficiency, and sensory ataxia over a 3-week period. Electrodiagnostic studies were performed on days 6, 13, and 50 following the onset of weakness. Motor nerve conducti
A true costoclavicular mass syndrome associated with a brachial plexopathy is rare. We report the occurrence of a severe brachial plexopathy as a late complication of a displaced midclavicular fracture. An exuberant callus associated with the clavicular fracture acted as a mass lesion to compress th
## Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a syndrome whose diagnosis is well established. One cause could be occupational factors, while others have no relation to work or the work environment. We present in this article a case report regarding a worker affected by CTS, which is of interest concerning th
I read with interest the superb review/AAEM minimonograph number 26, ''The Electrodiagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome'' by Stevens. I was puzzled by his statement, ''It is not wise, however, to do multiple different sensitive NCSs in the same patient, because of the risk of a type I error (normal pa
