Objectives: This study aimed to assess the peripheral nerve injuries among survivors after the two consecutive Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.7 Mw and 7.6 Mw. Materials and Methods:In the study, the medical records and electroneuromyographic findings of 94 earthquake victims who referred to Ankara City Hospital and underwent electroneuromyography analysis were analyzed.Results: Peripheral nerve damage was most common in the lower extremities.The presence of crush syndrome was closely associated with peripheral nerve damage (p=0.049).Conclusion: Peripheral nerve injuries require special attention as they may cause serious disability.
