Electrodiagnosis and nerve ultrasound: “Castor and Pollux” in the management of neuropathies

The image of Dioscuri is used to describe the efficient union of two elements contributing to achieve a goal. They were Castor and Pollux, two strong brothers of Greek mythology, defenders of the sailors, during the sea storms. Similarly, electrodiagnosis (EDx) and nerve ultrasound (US) together "defend" the complex and "stormy" management of patients with peripheral neuropathies. A large amount of papers has shown the efficacy of association of EDx and US in nerve evaluation. Now, as hoped years ago, the association between US and EDx is often part of neurophysiological activity (Padua et al., 2013).
