Ischemic monomelic neuropathy (IMN) is a rare type of acute axonal neuropathy which results from ischemia of multiple nerves in affected limb. The electroneuromyography is useful in detecting characteristic features of this neuropathy. It usually occurs after vascular interventions. Here, we present the first case who has IMN secondary to lung cancer and/or chemo-therapy and aim to draw attention to this infrequently recognized entity.

Keywords: EMG, ischemia, ischemic monomelic neuropathy, lung cancer, neuropathy, pain.

�skemik monomelik n�ropati, etkilenmi� ekstremitede multipl sinirlerin iskemisi sonucu olu�an nadir bir akut aksonal n�ropatidir. Elektron�romiyografi bu n�ropatinin karakteristik �zelliklerini saptamak i�in �ok yard�mc�d�r. Burada akci�er kanseri ve/veya al�nan kemoterapi nedeniyle olu�an ilk iskemik monomelik n�ropati olgusu sunuldu ve bu az tan�nan duruma dikkati �ekmek hedeflendi.

Anahtar Kelimeler: EMG, iskemi, iskemik monomelik n�ropati, akci�er kanseri, n�ropati, a�r�.
