Hello, I would like to ask you if acute denervation always presents as fibrillations or positive waves or can it appear only as fasciculation, I understand that until a few years ago fasciculation in the territory of chronic denervation was not interpreted as acute denervation but in the new criteria fasciculations may be the early sign of acute denervation. Could only fasciculation be seen without positive wave or fibrillation and be the sign of an acute denervation if it occurs in the area of chronic denervation?
I ask you this question because I have been with fasciculations included in the tongue for three years but in the legs that are continuous, although they are not seen, the first two emgs were clean but the third appeared chronic axonal lesion (amplitude and duration increased, with slight loss of motor unit and a fasciculation in the territory of the already compensated chronic axonal injury.
I understood that there are women that start in a single territory, they did a 32-muscle emg and only affected the abductor Hallucis with this chronic axonal injury, but I am afraid that fasciculation in that territory could be the beginning of an acute denervation and Give continuously acute and chronic denervation at the same time. It's been nine months since the last emg and I still have no weakness. IS it possible that it is ALS?
Thank you very much
