ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the electromyography (EMG) characteristics and clinical significance in patients with acute trimethyltin chloride (TMT) poisoning.Methods:
Retrospectively analyze the EMG results of major limb nerves and muscles of 13 patients with acute TMT poisoning.Results:
Among the 13 patients, 10 cases had abnormal and the abnormal rate was 76.9%. The same degree of involvement of upper and lower limbs is the most common. And distal peripheral nerve damage is the most common, mainly manifested as sensory damage or mixed sensory and motor damage, with axonal injury and demyelinating lesions to almost the same degree. The peroneal nerve and median nerve were the most vulnerable, with an abnormal rate of 39.1% and 35.9%, respectively. The peroneal nerve and median nerve were damaged first but recovered slowly.The ulnar nerve first appeared damaged and recovered quickly. The sural nerve was damaged later.Conclusion:
Acute TMT poisoning can cause limb peripheral nerve damage. This damage is a slow, gradual process, and its recovery is also a slow process.Key words
