Abstract

Fasciculations have an important role in the assessment of the neuronal injury. Objective: To study the morphology and role of fasciculations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Subjects and methods: 48 patients were examined at Bach Mai hospital and Dong Do general clinic, diagnosed with ALS according to Awaji criteria. Results: The fasciculations appeared in all regions with a high rate of over 50%, of which the highest was in the cervical spinal cord (68.75%), then the thoracic spinal cord (65.52%). In each region, the prevalence of only complex fasciculations accounts for the majority. All locations were recorded with images of fasciculations accompanied by fibrillations and/or positive shape waves, the rate was found in 4 regions: bulbar, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, respectively 54.54%, 68.75%, 65.52%, 64.58%. Conclusions: In ALS disease, the fasciculations show denervation at the site of neuronal axonal damage.
