One of the defining electrophysiological characteristics of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is focal motor nerve conduction block. We have noted occasional patients with typical clinical features of MMN in whom there is no demonstrable conduction block. Upon review of 5 such cases, we conclude tha
We describe a 58-year-old male with a few years history of multifocal weakness in the upper limbs with minimal to absent sensory complaints. He was diagnosed as having multiple compressive neuropathies, which required repeated decompressive surgeries. Electrodiagnostic studies prior to diagnosis wer
The finding of conduction block (CB) within short consecutive segments along a motor nerve is a key feature of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Despite their different pathogenesis, this may be the only clinical difference between some cases of MMN and the pure spinal muscular atrophy form of moto
