Accessory deep peroneal nerve (ADPN), a common anatomic variant, is traditionally suspected when common peroneal nerve stimulation evokes a greater amplitude extensor digitorum brevis compound muscle action potential than deep peroneal nerve (DPN) stimulation. Posterolateral ankle stimulation over t
Suramin, a promising chemotherapeutic agent, causes a dose-limiting sensorimotor polyneuropathy. We undertook a phase 1 study of suramin that included serial neurologic and electrophysiologic examinations as part of the safety evaluation. We found that 6 of 41 (15%) patients developed suramininduced
