INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to assess the peripheral nerve injuries among survivors after the two consecutive Kahramanmara� Earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.7 Mw and 7.6 Mw. 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). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Peripheral nerve injuries require special attention as they may cause serious disability.
