Teachable Moment: Electrodiagnostic Features of Demyelinating Neuropathies-Video File

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Mike Skolka discusses the electrodiagnostic features of demyelinating neuropathies, including acquired and hereditary types. He explains how nerve conduction studies and EMG help diagnose these conditions, highlighting key criteria such as conduction velocity slowing, prolonged distal latency, and abnormal temporal dispersion. Examples of conduction block and F-wave latency prolongation are presented, along with reference to guidelines for demyelinating neuropathies. Dr. Skolka emphasizes the importance of recognizing these features in conditions like CIDP and offers resources for further reading on the topic.
