Evaluation of repetitive nerve stimulation in young dogs

Abstract: Evaluation of neuromuscular transmission requires a complete electrodiagnostic evaluation including repetitive nerve stimulation. Supra‐maximal stimulation of the peroneal nerve and recording of the compound muscle action potentials from the cranial tibial muscle were under‐taken in 25 young dogs of two to 18 months of age. Proximal stimulation in the trochanteric fossa and distal stimulation in the popliteal fossa were chosen for small and large breeds, respectively. Highly consistent results were obtained wh… Show more

“…Repetitive nerve conduction was considered normal in all M/NM dogs, even though RNS showed a mild incremental response (<25%) in the youngest dogs. The latter has been described previously in young adult dogs when the cranial tibial muscle was used for CMAP recording, presumably as a result of increased synchronicity of muscle fiber discharges 24,43 . More importantly, none of the dogs had coexistent myasthenia gravis, based on the absence of decremental response during repetitive nerve conduction and confirmed by low acetylcholine receptor antibody serum titers, whereas in humans, myasthenia gravis often occurs concurrently with autoimmune PNH 10 …”

“…These stimuli were administered at frequencies of 2 Hz and 3 Hz. The amplitude of CMAP and the area under the curve were then compared across the initial, fifth, and tenth potentials to evaluate decremental responses [16,23].…”
