Compression neuropathies

2021
Abstract Nerve compression disorders affect nerve trunks, particularly in the upper extremity where carpal tunnel syndrome (median nerve compression at the wrist) is the most common and ulnar nerve compression the second most common disorder.

Compression Neuropathies

DeckerMed Plastic Surgery, 2020
Compression neuropathies result from entrapment at specific anatomic locations. They are a common clinical problem, particularly in the upper extremity, where a patient’s underlying medical conditions can affect the likelihood of symptoms. Early recognition from the clinical history and a detailed examination, including provocative maneuvers, combined ...

Postoperative Compressive Neuropathies

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
To the Editor.— The development of postoperative compressive neuropathies—ulnar, radial, and peroneal—in our series was related not only to prolonged compression of several hours, but also, in every instance, to a chronic, dense neuroma in continuity. There is no doubt that the short-term compression was the proximate cause of the neuropathy but, from

An Unusual Compressive Neuropathy

Archives of Neurology, 1984
Unfortunately, compressive neuropathies involving both upper and lower limbs still occur as a result of positioning during surgery. These cases are both underdocumented and frequently denied (J.F.A., unpublished data, 1980). We describe a patient with such a compressive neuropathy that resulted from unusual positioning during surgery. REPORT OF A CASE

Compression and entrapment neuropathies

2013
Peripheral nerve entrapments are frequent. They usually appear in anatomical tunnels such as the carpal tunnel. Nerve compressions may be due to external pressure such as the fibular nerve at the fibular head. Malignant or benign tumors may also damage the nerve.

Proximal Radial Compression Neuropathy

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2004
Proximal radial nerve compression occurs infrequently and is diagnosed successfully even less frequently. A large clinical series of patients with proximal radial nerve compression neuropathy was reviewed to determine better the common symptoms, physical findings, and electrodiagnostic findings, and to identify the predictors of better or worse outcome

Compressive neuropathies of the upper extremity

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2003
Although any peripheral nerve may be compressed anywhere along its course, nerve compression syndromes typically occur at predictable sites with predictable clinical presentations. A detailed history and physical examination can establish a diagnosis, and electrodiagnostic studies and at times imaging can confirm it.

Imaging of Entrapment and Compressive Neuropathies

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2008
Although the subject of entrapment and compressive neuropathies is huge, with dedicated textbooks on the subject, this article attempts to provide an up-to-date overview of the role of imaging in the diagnosis of nerve entrapment and compression syndromes.

Compression neuropathies of the lower extremity

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2003
Compression neuropathies of the lower extremity can be just as disabling as compression neuropathies in the upper extremity. The most common compression neuropathies encountered in the lower extremity affect the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, the peroneal nerve, the saphenous nerve, the sural nerve, and the tibial nerve (including their branches ...

Compression Neuropathies of the Median Nerve

Journal of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, 2004
Abstract Specific compression syndromes of the median nerve are known in the proximal forearm and at the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the best known and most common, but pronator teres syndrome and anterior interosseous nerve syndrome also are clinically significant.
