laryngeal electromyography

0.01 sec.

A technique analogous to conventional EMG used to differentiate neurogenic from myogenic disorders, localize a neurogenic lesion–ie, upper vs lower neurons, and differentiate organic from functional defects; LEMG is used to evaluate vocal fold dysfunction, tremor, myoclonus, pyramidal and extrapyramidal disorders, and primary muscular disorders, delineating specific disorders–eg, superior vs recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement, provide prognostic information. See Electromyography.
