  Electrophysiological Diagnostic Certainty in Spinal Nerve Root Entrapment
  Author(s): Naglaa Hussein* and Hussein Sultan
  
  Objective: Evaluation of sensitivity of different electrophysiological parameters among Egyptians with clinically spinal nerve entrapment. Methods: 100 spinal nerve entrapment patients and 41 healthy control. Exclusion; diabetes mellitus, renal, hepatic, endocrine disorder, other nerve involvements. Patients subjected to: Demographic data, detailed neurological history, examination. EDX; NCS, H-reflex, F-wave, Dermatomal Sensory Evoked Potential (DSEP), EMG. Normal cervical DSEP latency and same side Inter-root latency difference was calculated. Values more than 1.57 were considered abnormal. Results: Mean age 49.6 ± 10.6. sensory pattern 87%, motor pattern 9%, sensorimotor patterns 4%. Single nerve root (56%), highest C7 root (25%) (.44%. Multiple nerve root; highest C6,.. View More»
