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.

Compressive Neuropathy as a Complication of Anticoagulant Therapy

Neurosurgery, 1983
Abstract Three cases of compressive neuropathy after anticoagulant therapy are reported. The first known description of ulnar and radial nerve involvement in this syndrome is provided. A review of the literature along with a discussion of some of the clinical features, the diagnosis, and the management of this entity are presented.

Compression Neuropathies in the Anterior Forearm

Hand Clinics, 1986
In nerve entrapment syndromes in the upper extremity, the surgeon must first become a diagnostician. When the symptoms of entrapment are bilateral, diabetes mellitus and cervical arthritis are found in a significant statistical number over the general population.

Advances in Imaging of Compressive Neuropathies

Hand Clinics
Ultrasound and magnetic resonance neurography are useful modalities to aid in the assessment of compressive neuropathies, although they are still limited in their resolution of nerve microstructure and their capacity to monitor postoperative nerve recovery.

Compressive Optic Neuropathy

2019
Optic nerve compression results in progressive, and often painless, vision loss. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the clinical features of anterior and posterior compressive optic neuropathy. We next review the common causes of compressive optic neuropathy, which include orbital tumors (e.g., optic nerve sheath meningioma, optic glioma, and ...

Ulnar Compressive Neuropathies

2017
There are three different neuropathies defined by where the ulnar nerve is compressed that are much less common than cubital tunnel. Nerve conduction is used to confirm diagnosis of cubital tunnel, defined as symptomatic ulnar nerve dysfunction at the level of the elbow; this is treated either nonoperatively or operatively depending on severity.

Compressive Optic Neuropathy

2021
Compressive optic neuropathy occurs when an extrinsic force acts upon the optic nerve. Compression may be secondary to inflammatory, infectious, vascular, traumatic, or neoplastic lesions. Mass effect on the optic nerve compromises optic nerve axoplasmic and blood flow, leading to decreased color vision and visual acuity, visual field defects, and ...
