The aim of this study is to examine the sensitivity and characteristics of electromyography abnormalities detected by using various paramenters in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathies. EMG is widely used for disgnosing and localizing the level of radiculopathy. The results of the study were as follow : 1. In electromyography, L5 radiculopathy usa 95 cases(51.690). S1 radiculopathy was $45m(24.5\%)$ L4 radiculopathy was 18cases $(9.8\%)$, and L2, 3 radiculopathy was 8cases$(4.3\%)$. Remains 18cases$(9.8\%)$ had no definite radiculopathy. 2. Peroneal and tibial motor nerve conduction velocity studies were not significant as compared to the side to side. 3. Latency of H-reflex in L5 radiculopathy was $30.55\pm2.47$ in affected side, $29.47\pm2.29$ in unaffected side, in S1 radiculopathy was $33.00\pm2.03$ in affected side, R30.18\pm2.21$ in unaffected side. It was statistically significant(p<0.01). H-reflex mean difference of S1 radiculopathy group was significantly prolonged as compared to the L5 and S1 radiculopathies(p<0.001). 4. In L2, 3 radiculopathy, abnormal spontaneous activities and motor unit action potentials were showed high sensitivity in upper lumber paraspinal, hip adductors, quadriceps and iliopsoas muscles. 5. In L4 radiculopathy, lower lumbar paraspinal, tibialis anterior, quadriceps muscles were showed high sensitivity. 6. In L5 radiculopathy, lower lumbar paraspinal, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, peroneus longus, extensor digitorum brevis, gluteus maximus, tensor fasciae latae muscles were showed high sensitivity. 7. In S1 radiculopathy, lower lumbar paraspinal, gluteus maximus, peroneus longus, soleus, abductor hallucis, hamstrings, extensor digitorum brevis, extensor hallucis lognus, gastrocnemius muscles were showed high sensitivity.

본 논문에서는 중추신경계나 대뇌피질의 운동 및 감각기능을 검사하는 근전도계 및 유발성응답기의 안전 요구사항 및 시헙방법을 기술한다. 국제 기준에 부합화하는 안전 요구사항을 설정하고, 국제 표준에 따른 시험방법 및 표준 시험절차서를 제시하였다. 그러나 장비의 개별 성능 요구사항은 특정하지 않고, 제조사에서 제시하는 성능이나 출력이 가능하도록 규정하였다. 시중에 유통되고 있는 근전도계 장비를 이용하여 제시된 시험방법에 대한 유효성을 확인하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 식품의약품안전청에서 의료기기 인허가시 적용되는 기준규격으로서 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Postpoliomyelitis syndrome is a common neurological disorder that occurs in patients who have experienced paralytic poliomyelitis. Recently, as a result of vaccination against poliovirus, incidence of poliomyelitis is exceedingly low. However, many patients with postpolio syndrome may encounter anesthesia when undergoing surgery, such as for correction of foot deformity and other operations. We report on a 45-year-old woman who experienced paralysis of her contralateral limb after operation on the left foot under spinal anesthesia. Postoperative electromyography/nerve conduction study (EMG/NCS) was performed in order to determine the cause of paralysis. Motor power of the sequelae involved leg showed improvement with time and recovered fully to the preoperative level at six months after the index operation. A precise evaluation, including a physical examination and EMG/NCS, should be performed preoperatively when spinal anesthesia is planned for postpolio syndrome patients.

It was sometimes difficult to differentiate between acute-onset chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (A-CIDP) and subacute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (SIDP). The CNS involvement of these polyneuropathies has rarely reported in the literature. We present the case of a 42-year-old man who developed rapidly developing inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy followed by right optic neuritis. This case showed progressive motor weakness and sensory dysfunction with time to nadir at 8 weeks, demyelination in nerve conduction study, no other etiology of neuropathy, no relapse during follow-up of 18 months, good response to steroid and complete recovery which favor SIDP more than A-CIDP. We experienced the case of SIDP associated with optic neuritis.

Neurofibroma may present as a solitary lesion or as multiple lesions. Although there is no site of predilection for solitary lesions, occurrence on the hand is rare. Plexiform neurofibroma can develop in isolation or more commonly as a part of neurofibromatosis type 1. In those that apper in isolation, trauma has been suggested as a precipitating factor. A 68-year-old male farmer had experienced repetitive prior episodes of trauma in the involved finger. He presented with a painless mass on the dorsal aspect of the fifth finger. Physical examination showed a protruding mass measuring approximately $15{\times}20mm$ which was not tenderness to palpation and any skin changes or pigmentation. Ultrasonography showed a cystic mass on the dorsal aspect of the middle phalanx. Microsurgical dissection was applied in order to seperated the lesion from the ulnar side of the dorsal branch of the digital nerve. Pathologic examination of the specimens revealed neurofibroma. At three-month follow-up, motor and sensory function were intact, and range of motion was fully recovered. Traumatic solitary neurofibroma is a rare tumor of the hand, especially in the finger. Hand surgeons should be aware of the diagnostic possibilities of this tumor based on examination, history taking and imaging studies.

Spasmodic dysphonia is a focal laryngeal dystonia that results in involuntary spasms during speech. The etiology of spasmodic dysphonia is not yet defined, but it is presumed to be a neurological abnormality of central nervous system motor function. The treatment of choice for spasmodic dysphonia is botulinum toxin injection directly at the laryngeal muscles. However botulinum toxin injection requires repeated procedures. Many different kinds of surgical treatments have been introduced but the recurrence rate is still high. So we performed myomectomy with LASER and neurectomy with specially designed electrical surgical knife which can cut recurrent laryngeal nerve branch selectively with its noble curved section. We report a case of a 43-year-old male patient with spasmodic dysphonia treated by thyroarytenoid myoneurectomy.

We experienced a case of occupational lead poisoning employed in a secondary lead smelting plant for 12 years. The patient was 39-year-old male and had been felt dizziness, recent memory impairment and intermittent severe abdominal pain for 2 years. On admission, blood lead level was $92.9{\mu}g/dl$, urinary lead level was $19.9{\mu}g/l$ and zinc protoporphyrin level was $226.0{\mu}g/dl$. On the blood test, hemoglobin was 10.6g/dl and showed normocytic normochromic anemia. There were no abnormal findings in the biochemical and hormonal tests. Decrease of I.Q. and use of words in speaking were found in the psychiatric and psychologic examinations. We observed the finding of motor polyneuropathy in the nerve conduction velocity test. Computed tomographic finding showed calcification lesions in the basal ganglia, dentate nuclei, caudate nuclei, and especially characteristic multiple calcifications were located in the subcortical white matter.

Complex regional pain syndrome type I of vascular origin is difficult to detect unless the classic symptoms and signs exist and/or overt extremity trauma has precipitated the pain. The diagnosis is confirmed by relief of pain following a sympathetic nerve blockade. A 36-year-old woman with arterial occlusive disease of the right lower extremity presented with burning pain and hyperesthesia after sprain had occurred which was accompanied by motor weakness of right ankle. A lumbar sympathetic ganglion blockade with 2% lidocaine 10 ml and triamcinolone 80 mg produced prompt improvement of the pain and motion.

Objectives & Methods: We investigated 28 books to study etiology and pathology of Son-Bal Jeorim. Result and Conclusion 1. The eiology of Son-Bal Jeorim is same as it of Bee Jeung(痺症). 2. Generally speaking, the cause of Bee Jeung was distributed Wind(風), Coldness(寒), Wetness (濕) of meridian. Bee Jeung can be devided into SilBi(實痺) and HeoBi(虛痺). In SilBi(實痺) there are PungHanSeupBi(風寒濕痺) and YeolBi(熱痺). In HeoBi(虛痺), there are GiHyeolHeoBi(氣血虛痺), EumheoBi(陰虛痺) and YangHeoBi(陽虛痺). 3. Son-Bal Jeorim belong to peripheral neuropathy in western medicine. 4. Syndrome of acute motor paralysis with variable disturbance of sensory and autonomic function, subacute sensorymotor paralysis, syndrome of chronic sensorimotor polyneuropathy, neuropathy with mitochondrial disease, syndrome of mononeuropathy or nerve plexusopathy. 5. Peripheral neuropathy is caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, uremic neuropathy, hepatic neuropathy, hypothyroid neuropathy, hyperthyroid neuropathy, neuropathy due to malnutrition, neuropathy due to toxic material, neuropathy due to drug, paraneoplastic neuropathy, hereditary neuropathy, etc. 6. Cerebral apoplexy, myelopathy, peripheral circulatory disturbance, anxiety syndrome cause symptoms of peripheral neuropathy
