Abstract

Objectives: To determine the false positive rate of sural nerve conduction studies for healthy subjects. Materials and Methods: We performed sural nerve conduction studies for 23 healthy subjects using both nerve-nerve technique and surface recording. Results: We found three abnormal results in the sural nerve-nerve technique. However, all those patients had normal results in the surface recording. Conclusion: The surface recording is recommended for suspicious cases in order to approve the abnormal results in the near-nerve technique.

Özet

Amaç: Sağlıklı bireylerde yapılan sural sinir iletim çalışmasının yanlış pozitif oranın saptanması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yirmi üç tane sağlıklı bireyin (ortalama yaşı: 51, aralık: 26-74, 11 erkek, 12 kadın) sural sinirleri hem yüzeyel elektrod hem de yakın sinir tekniği ile tek taraflı olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Sural sinirin yüzeyel elektrod kullanarak yapılan sinir iletim incelemesinde tüm deneklerin sinir iletim incelemeleri normal bulunurken yakın sinir tekniği ile 3 denekte hem duysal sinir aksiyon potansiyeli amplitüdü hem de şekli anormal bulundu. Sonuç: Yakın sinir tekniği ile sural sinir incelenmesi normal bireylerde anormal sonuç verebilmekte olup, şüphede kalınan olgular mutlaka özgüllüğü daha yüksek metotlar ile tekrar değerlendirilmelidir.
