Electroneuromyouraphy (ENMG) is the gold standard tool in evaluating, peripheral neuropathies. and it is essential to the diagnosis and the location of the involvement. as well as the assessment of the severity and the prognosis of the lesion However, it has also limitations It is highly examiner dependant and because it is unpleasant, the assessment of some nerves and muscles is limited The evaluation of proximal nerve and deep muscles is difficult to perform Magnetic resonance imagine. and echography represent a fast in growing field in demyelinating and motor neuropathy assessment. while these imaging procedures are now well validated in myopathies In this article, we discuss sensitivity, specificity and prognostic dam brought up by these
