Lumbrical sparing in carpal tunnel syndrome: anatomic, physiologic, and diagnostic implications.

abstract：:Four patients with a clinical syndrome closely resembling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis recovered completely, without treatment, 5 to 12 months after onset. Electrodiagnostic tests revealed acute and chronic denervation, with normal motor and sensory nerve conduction studies. The CSF was normal, and tests for paraprot...
