We performed this trial to reflect the variety of the ENMG diagnoses and the compliance between the preliminary diagnosis and the ENMG result in pediatric cases in our region. Material and Method: The ENMG diagnoses of the pediatric patients presenting to our electroneurophysiology laboratory during a 2-year period were investigated. Results: The mean age of the 789 pediatric patients was 6.56± 4.81. Among them, there were 415 males (52.6%) with a mean age of 6.57±4.72, and 374 females (47.4%) with a mean age of 6.54±4.91. The ENMG diagnoses were as follows: 141 patients (17.9%) with brachial plexus lesion, 65 patients (8.2%) with peripheral nerve injury due to sharp object injury, gunshot injury and various accidents (traffic accidents, falling down from height etc), 48 patients (6.1%) with polyneuropathy (non-acute onset), 39 patients (4.9%) with myopathy, 37 patients (4.7%) with injection neuropathy, 34 patients (4.3%) with Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). 329 cases (41.7%) had normal ENMG findings despite the presence of a preliminary diagnosis. 460 had (58.3%) pathological ENMG findings. Conclusion: In the pediatric age group, the most common diagnosis was the brachial plexus lesion. The fact that more than 30% of the cases had traumatic nerve injury revealed that preventive measures should be taken against accidents and in relation to medical procedures for non-adults. The preliminary diagnosis-ENMG compliance rate of 58.3% indicates the necessity to reduce the off-label ENMG request.

Bu çalışmada bölgemizde polinöropati ön tanılı olgularda ENMG tanılarının dağılımını incelemek istedik. Materyal ve metod: Polinöropati tanısı ile ENMG laboratuarımıza gelen 921 hastanın sonuçları incelendi. Bulgular: İki yıllık süreçte polinöropati ön tanılı 921 hastanın yaş ortalaması 40,77±22,23 idi. Bunların 451'i erkek (%49) ve yaş ortalaması 39,64±22,89; 470'i kadın (%51) ve yaş ortalaması 41,85±21,54 idi. Hastaların 560'ında (%60,8) normal ENMG bulguları elde edilirken 361'inde (%39,2) patolojik ENMG bulguları vardı. Hasta grubu içinde, sekonder gelişen polinöropatiler (301 olgu, %83,4, Diyabet, KOAH, nefropati vb.), Guillain Barre Sendromu (50 olgu, %13,9), Multifokal Motor Nöropati (5 olgu-%1,4) ve Herediter Basınca Duyarlılık Nöropatisi (5 olgu-%1,4) yer aldı. Sonuç: Hasta grubunda en sık gözlenen sistemik hastalıklara sekonder gelişen polinöropatilerdi. Hastaların %39,2'sinde istemde belirtilen ön tanı ile ENMG'ye dayalı tanı arasında uyum vardı. Bu sonuçlara göre, ENMG'ye yönlendirilen hastaların yeterli sürede ve daha dikkatli değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.

Methods: The data of 86 patients admitted to the study were analysed retrospectively. Results: A total of 86 patients (n:86) with acute ischemic stroke who were followed up in our hospital Neurology Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Fifty of 86 patients were survived and transferred to our service, then discharged. The number of patients who died was 36. The mean level of serum phosphorus of patients who died (2.77 ± 0.39) was significantly lower than that of the living patients (3.14 ± 0.20) (p<0.001). Conclusions: This study supports that low serum phosphorus level is associated with mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Conceptually, the term leukoaraiosis does not reflect a clinical presentation but a radiological one. Proliferation of the clinical use of computed tomography (CT) scan of the head and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) helps the easy diagnosis of leukoaraiosis In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of leukoaraiosis in the geriatric population in our region. Methods: Retrospective study in the Harran University Medical Faculty Neurology Department between 2011 and 2013. 339 out of 379 geriatric cases treated as outpatients were taken. Results: The average age of 155 male and 224 female subjects is 68.3 ± 6.3. There was no leukoaraiosis in 57 cases. In 282 cases leukoaraiosis was observed. Those with leukoaraiosis; 74 cases (26.2%) stage 1, 52 cases (18.4%) stage 2, 54 cases (19.1%) stage 3, 45 cases (16.0%) stage 4. There was a significant correlation between age and leukoaraiosis phase. As age increased, the stage increased (p<0.0001). There was a significant correlation between cerebrovascular disease and leukoaraiosis phase (p=0.0067). Conclusıons: As a result, it is noteworthy that leukoaraiosis increases in the geriatric population. There was a significant correlation between leukoaraiosis phase with mild atrophy, severe atrophy and cerebrovascular disease.
