Abstract

Abstract:

Peripheral nerve and muscle ultrasound (hereinafter referred to as neuromuscular ultrasound) has been increasingly widely used in neuromuscular diseases, which can not only reflect the morphological characteristics of neuromuscular, but also serve as an important supplement to neurophysiological monitoring and diagnosis and play an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of immune - related peripheral neuropathies, hereditary peripheral neuropathies, paraproteinemia - associated peripheral neuropathies and motor neuron diseases. This article focuses on the application of neuromuscular ultrasound in the field of neuromuscular diseases, with a view to promoting the application of neuromuscular ultrasound in clinical practice.

Key words: Neuromuscular diseases, Ultrasonography, Peripheral nerves, Muscle, skeletal, Review

摘要：

周围神经和肌肉超声成像（以下简称神经肌肉超声）在神经肌肉病中的应用逐渐广泛，不仅可以反映神经肌肉形态学特征，还可以作为神经电生理检测诊断的重要补充，在免疫相关周围神经病、遗传性周围神经病、副蛋白血症相关周围神经病和运动神经元病等的诊断与鉴别诊断中发挥重要作用。本文重点阐述神经肌肉超声在神经肌肉病领域的价值，以推动神经肌肉超声在临床中的应用。
