Of 45 patients with acoustic neuromas (0.3-5.0 cm), 73% had facial nerve impairment on electrophysiologic testing, but only 16% had facial weakness. Cranial nerve conduction was the most sensitive measurement, especially prolongation of the ipsilateral R1 latency of the blink reflex compared with th
Nine patients at risk for critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) were included in a prospective study. We performed nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and a stimulation single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG). Five of 9 patients were diagnosed as CIP because they developed abnormal spontaneous
