Entrapment Neuropathy and Pregnancy

2018
Entrapment neuropathy is caused by compression, angulation, or stretch of a peripheral nerve as it passes through a fibro-osseous canal such as the carpal or the cubital tunnel (in the case of the median or the ulnar nerves). In addition to true entrapment neuropathies, individual nerves can be injured at vulnerable anatomical locations such as the ...

Entrapment Neuropathies of the Lower Extremity

Medical Clinics of North America, 2019
Entrapment neuropathies in the lower limbs are a common neurologic problem and may present in any medical setting. Accurate identification and management of these nerve palsies can prevent pain, sensory loss, incoordination, and muscle weakness that may significantly affect a patient's functional mobility.

Suprascapular entrapment neuropathy

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1975
✓ The author describes the syndrome of suprascapular nerve entrapment neuropathy that occurs as that nerve passes beneath the transverse scapular ligament, and discusses the anatomy, comparative anatomy, and five case histories. The cardinal findings include pain in the shoulder, weakness, and wasting of spinati muscles, and a positive electromyogram ...

Entrapment Neuropathies about the Elbow

Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 1994
The differential diagnosis of symptoms such as numbness, paresthesias, pain, or weakness in the hand must include entrapment neuropathies which can occur about the elbow region. Several potential entrapment sites have been described for the major peripheral nerves during their course down the upper arm and into the proximal forearm.

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.

Focal and entrapment neuropathies

2014
Of the many patterns of peripheral nerve disorders in diabetes mellitus (DM), isolated clinical involvement of single nerves, though less common than distal symmetric polyneuropathy and perhaps polyradiculoneuropathy, constitute an important collection of characteristic syndromes. These fall into four anatomical regions of the body: cranial, upper limb,

Entrapment Neuropathies of the Upper Extremities

New England Journal of Medicine, 1993
The three syndromes described in this article were chosen from about a dozen nerve-compression disorders that affect the arm from scapula to digits. They illustrate the range of problems encountered. None of the other syndromes are as common, and in some instances (pronator syndrome and anterior interosseous syndrome), localized inflammation is at ...

Entrapment neuropathy in laparoscopic herniorrhaphy

Surgical Endoscopy, 1994
In laparoscopic hernia repairs, the staples used to affix prosthetic mesh have resulted in entrapment neuropathies. This paper describes the diagnosis and treatment of nine cases of entrapment neuropathy. Injuries to all the branches of the lumbar plexus, with the exception of the obdurator nerve, have been treated.

Entrapment Neuropathy of the Ulnar Nerve

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2007
Ulnar nerve entrapment is the second most common nerve entrapment syndrome of the upper extremity. Although it may occur at any location along the length of the nerve, it is most common in the cubital tunnel. Ulnar nerve entrapment produces numbness in the ring and little fingers and weakness of the intrinsic muscles in the hand.

Entrapment Neuropathies of the Foot and Ankle

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2015
Posterior tarsal tunnel syndrome is the result of compression of the posterior tibial nerve. Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome (entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve) typically presents with pain radiating to the first dorsal web space. Distal tarsal tunnel syndrome results from entrapment of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve and is often ...
