Abstract
The electrophysiologic evaluation of peripheral nerves may provide critically important information, both with respect to diagnosis and prognosis, in the child with a suspected neuromuscular disorder. However, special attention to various technical considerations is necessary to avoid misleading results. Utilizing these techniques, both hereditary and acquired neuropathies may be identified and characterized. The latter has become especially important in view of recent advances in the treatment of acquired demyelinating neuropathies. (J Child Neurol 1986;1:19-26)Keywords
