Résumé
Carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy at the elbow, and peroneal neuropathy are the most common mononeuropathies; however, other individual nerves may also be injured by various processes. These uncommon mononeuropathies may be less readily diagnosed owing to unfamiliarity with the presentations and vague symptoms. Electrodiagnostic studies are essential in the evaluation of uncommon mononeuropathies and can assist in localization and prognostication. However, they can also be challenging; stimulation at the proximal sites is difficult and well-validated reference values are not available. This article reviews the electrodiagnostic assessment of several uncommon upper and lower extremities mononeuropathies.
