TLDR
Using ultrasonography, multiple sites with nerve enlargement along the course of the brachial plexus, median, ulnar, and radial nerves in the majority of 21 patients with multifocal motor neuropathy are found.Abstract:
Using ultrasonography we found multiple sites with nerve enlargement along the course of the brachial plexus, median, ulnar, and radial nerves in the majority of 21 patients with multifocal motor neuropathy. Sonography and electrophysiologic studies showed more abnormalities than expected on purely clinical grounds. Moreover, sonography revealed nerve enlargement without clinical or electrophysiologic abnormalities.read more

Ultrasound of inherited vs. acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured median and ulnar nerve cross-sectional areas in proximal and distal regions in 128 children and adults with inherited and acquired demyelinating neuropathies using ultrasound.

High-resolution ultrasonography of peripheral nerves: measurements on 14 nerve segments in 56 healthy subjects and reliability assessments.
TL;DR: Peripheral nerve ultrasonography is a reliable and reproducible diagnostic method in the hands of experienced examiners and normal values for several upper and lower extremity nerves are provided by this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
New technologies for the assessment of neuropathies
TL;DR: These new and emerging techniques and their effects on diagnosis, treatment strategies and prognosis in a variety of peripheral neuropathies, including entrapments, brachial plexopathies, immune and inherited neuro Pathies, and small-fibre neuropathie are reviewed.

TL;DR: Ultrasound, quantified by UPSS, HS, and RNEI facilitates a reliable and reproducible differentiation of immunoneuropathies and hereditary neuropathies by the use of boundary values.

TL;DR: The authors' results suggest that the factors with the greatest influence on nerve size differed between entrapment and non-entrapment sites, and that age, BMI and wrist circumference were most strongly associated with nerve size.
