Özet:

 Objectives: Electroneuromyography ENMG is a laboratory test commonly used in the diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases, which is a continuation of anamnesis and physical examination. The aim of this study is to analyze accordance between pre-diagnosis and electrophysiological diagnosis in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: Patients aged 0-16 years and underwent ENMG examinations between 2016 and 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The ENMG results of a total of 526 patients were examined in the study. The mean age of the patients was 10.814.31 years. While the pre-diagnosis and the electrophysiological diagnosis were compatible in 32.31 of the patients, incompatibility with the pre-diagnosis was found in 67.69. While no difference was found between concordant and discordant patients in terms of pre-diagnosis and outcome between genders p0.06, there was a difference between concordant and non-concordant patients in terms of categorized age and pre-diagnoses p0.01, p0.02, respectively. Conclusion: A high discrepancy was found between pre-diagnosis and electrophysiological diagnosis. With more detailed history and clinical examination of pediatric patients, unnecessary requests can be avoided and waiting times of real patients can be shortened.
