In the Resident & Fellow article “Clinical Reasoning: A 62-year-old man with right wrist drop” by G. Cirillo et al. (Neurology® 2013;81:e81–e84), there is an error in the corresponding author’s title, which should have read Prof. Tedeschi, as well as errors involving the figure. The published figure should have been split into 2 figures and the first y-axis label in figure 1, panel A, should have read “1st ankle – EDB.” See corrected figures with titles and legends below. The publisher regrets the errors.
Distal nerve stimulation at ankle from extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) resulted in a normal compound muscle action potential (CMAP); subsequent single proximal stimulus at fibular head showed a significant drop of CMAP amplitude and area, which was still evident at the second single distal stimulus. Amp. p-p = amplitude measured at peak to peak; Area p- = area of negative peak; Fib. head = fibular head.
3-Hz repetitive nerve stimulation of the right median to abductor pollicis brevis (R-APB) (A) and right facial to nasalis (R-Na) (B) muscles showed significant decrement in both muscles.
