Ultrasound as a Complementary Tool to Electrodiagnostics in the Evaluation of Compressive Neuropathy of the Common Fibular Nerve [PDF]

open access: yesHSS Journal
Background: Compressive neuropathy of the common fibular nerve (CFN) is increasingly recognized as an etiology for foot drop and falls. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies are widely used to evaluate this condition, but such tests are invasive and costly. As

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 ...

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 ...

Controllable forces for reproducible chronic constriction injury mimicking compressive neuropathy in rat sciatic nerve

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2020
BACKGROUND Compressive neuropathy is a recurring and challenging disease for patients, regardless of medical or surgical treatment. Neuropathological severity is associated with the force of mechanical compression.

Common Compression Neuropathies

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2021
Compression neuropathies, also known as entrapment neuropathies, are common neurologic conditions seen in medicine. These often are due to mechanical injury, either compression or stretch of the affected nerve, and initially result in focal demyelinating changes. If left untreated, secondary axonal injury and lasting disability can result.

A Correlation between Upper Extremity Compressive Neuropathy and Nerve Compression Headache

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2021
Background: Compressive neuropathies of the head/neck that trigger headaches and entrapment neuropathies of the extremities have traditionally been perceived as separate clinical entities.

Feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic transorbital optic canal decompression for meningiomas causing compressive optic neuropathy.

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2023
OBJECTIVE The endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) and transorbital anterior clinoidectomy have been suggested as novel procedures through which to reach the superolateral compartments of the orbit, allowing optic canal decompression.

Compression Neuropathies

Seminars in Neurology, 1987
Nerve compression, frequently from entrapment at specific anatomic locations, is a common clinical entity, especially in patients with predisposing occupations or with certain medical disorders. It should be pointed out that a nerve can be compressed at more than one level. Early recognition and treatment are the most effective means of preventing long-

Compression Neuropathy

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1982
Some of the experimental, pathologic, and clinical features of extremity compression are reviewed with special reference to vulnerability of peripheral nerves to compressive forces at specific anatomic locations. Attention is directed toward syndromes resulting from mechanical factors, and it should be pointed out that a nerve can be compressed at more

Bilateral dysthyroid compressive optic neuropathy responsive to teprotumumab

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021
Thyroid eye disease is an auto-immune mediated orbitopathy which can cause dysthyroid compressive optic neuropathy. Traditional management of active thyroid eye disease includes temporizing high-dose steroids, orbital radiation and surgical decompression,
