Abstract
The accessory peroneal nerve is a normal anatomical variant, electrophysiologically present in 15–28% of normal individuals. An individual with a rare, complete innervation of extensor digitorum brevis muscle by an accessory peroneal nerve is reported, emphasizing the importance of proximal stimulation during routine electrodiagnostic evaluation despite absent distal responses to avoid misdiagnosing axonal lesions.
期刊介绍：
This international, multidisciplinary journal covers all aspects of neuromuscular disorders in childhood and adult life (including the muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophies, hereditary neuropathies, congenital myopathies, myasthenias, myotonic syndromes, metabolic myopathies and inflammatory myopathies).
The Editors welcome original articles from all areas of the field:
• Clinical aspects, such as new clinical entities, case studies of interest, treatment, management and rehabilitation (including biomechanics, orthotic design and surgery).
• Basic scientific studies of relevance to the clinical syndromes, including advances in the fields of molecular biology and genetics.
• Studies of animal models relevant to the human diseases.
The journal is aimed at a wide range of clinicians, pathologists, associated paramedical professionals and clinical and basic scientists with an interest in the study of neuromuscular disorders.
