High resolution nerve ultrasound in neurofibromatosis type 1: a prospective and descriptive study
Objective
To explore the value of high resolution nerve ultrasound (HRUS)3 and nerve conduction studies (NCS)4 in screening for plexiform neurofibromas (PNs)5 in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).6
Methods
Adult patients with NF1 were eligible. Patients were divided into two groups: with peripheral nervous system related symptoms (PNS7 group) and without PNS-related symptoms (non-PNS group). Study visit included neurological examination, NCS and HRUS.
Results
Sixty patients were enrolled, 37 in the PNS group and 23 in the non-PNS group. HRUS was abnormal in 52 patients (87 %), 34 in the PNS group (92 %) and 18 in the non-PNS group (78 %, p = 0.24). Patients with continuous nerve enlargements (high PN tumor load) were easily distinguished with HRUS. 85 % of patients with normal NCS have nerve enlargements on HRUS.
Conclusions
HRUS helps to assess PN tumor burden in NF1. NCS did not have additional value.
Significance
HRUS might be useful as a screening tool for PN in NF1, especially in settings with less MRI availability.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
