“…11 Clinically focused community surveys and hospital studies have offered brief insight into the spectrum of NMDs in the Middle East, including studies in Egypt with sparse reporting on a multitude of NMD subtypes. 12 The present study found SMA to be the most frequently occurring NMD (52.8%), followed by DMD and LGMD with frequencies of 22.6 and 18.9%, respectively. This is contrary to the reports that have revealed the prevalence and profiles of NMDs in the region.…”

Objective Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are any diseases affecting the lower motor neuron (anterior horn cell, peripheral nerve, and neuromuscular junction) or muscle, all of which are components of motor unit. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, demographic, and genetic profile of children diagnosed with different NMDs. Materials and Methods Descriptive case series study where clinical records for children with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) how presented to the outpatient Neurology Clinic at Tripoli Children Hospital in the period from January 2015 to the date of data collection May 2023 have been reviewed to obtain the relevant information which include demographic data, parental consanguinity, family history of affected other members, diagnostic groups within NMDs used were spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and its subtypes, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and any other NMDs, genetic testing results, ambulatory state at the time of data collection, age at death if occurred, mode of treatment (steroid for patients with diagnosis of DMD, oral Risdiplam/IV Zolgensma/intrathecal Spinraza for patients with SMA) and Genetic testing results and the eligibility to spesfic exon skipping therapy for DMD patients. Results The study revealed 53 patients with NMDs, which represent 3.8% of all neurological disorders. Of these, 32 (60.4%) were males and 21 (39.6%) were females. Patient ages ranged between 2 months and 20 years (mean = 10 years). SMA and DMD are more common than the other disorders. 77.4% of patients were have positive consanguinity and 66% are have family history. 54.7% of patients still have ability to walk independently. Four (7.5%) patients were died three of them were have diagnosis of SMA type 1 and they died before age of 18 months and the fourth who has diagnosis of SMA type 3 was die at age of 12 years. Conclusion Although neuromuscular disorders are rare as individual disease entities, as a group they are not. The retrospective study presented here could form the backbone of a future Libyan neuromuscular registry, which is necessary with many novel NMD therapies in pipeline.

Background The diagnosis of type, severity of ulnar neuropathy based on symptoms and clinical tests are unsatisfactory. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze ulnar neuropathies at different sites evaluated through electrodiagnostic studies (EDx), especially for ulnar neuropathy at elbow (UNE). Results Total 270 ulnar neuropathy patients’ data were recruited from laboratory record over a five-year period (2016–2021).Their demographic data, clinical history and EDx parameters were analyzed focusing on etiology, nerve lesion types, 5th-digit sensory, dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve (DUCN) conduction, motor nerve conduction velocity (NCV) across elbow along with EMG of ADM, FDI, FCU, FDP muscles. The patients grouped into traumatic injuries—27.8% (T) and 72.2% non-traumatic (NT) had varied sensory-motor symptoms: pain—10%, altered sensation—28.1%, pain-paresthesia—14.8%, atrophy—25.2% and clawing—8.9%. UNE was the most prevalent (82.75%-NT, 66.67% -T) with < 50 m/s motor and sensory NCV across elbow. Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude > 50% drop across elbow was seen in 55.17%-NT and 54.16%-T groups. Abnormal DUCN and short-segment inching NCV were less frequently noted. In EMG, ADM (T-83.33% and NT-65.51%) and FDI (T-70.83% and NT-68.96%) muscles were evaluated the most and FDP the least. Conclusion UNE was the most common followed by forearm and wrist. NCV and CMAP across elbow are stronger EDx parameters for UNE. Neuropathy was irrespective of gender and prevalent at early of middle age. The EDx could be considered as one of the most valuable tests in confirming the localization, severity and type of ulnar nerve lesion, which favors management and prognosis of patient.

“…Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a rare condition with diagnosis seldom established. The condition is more commonly reported in females and can involve any age group [44]. The Tinel sign, which is characteristic of TT syndrome is commonly used in the clinical setting to differentiate the condition from plantar nerve compression [37,38].…”
