Cranial Nerve Compression Syndromes
2010Compression syndromes are vascular compressions of nerves that result in hyperfunction (hyperactivity). The most common are the trigeminal and the facial ones, resulting in trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, respectively. But there are more, and we will discuss these here following the nerve numbers.

Cranial nerve vascular compression syndromes
2019Hyperactive cranial nerve syndromes originate in a large number of cases from chronic neurovascular conflict. Classical trigeminal neuralgia is the most frequent syndrome, followed by primary hemifacial spasm. Vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia is rare, but still underestimated.

Uncommon Nerve Compression Syndromes of the Upper Extremity
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1998Nerve compression syndromes are a common cause of pain, sensory disturbance, and motor weakness in both the upper and the lower extremities. Although carpal tunnel syndrome is frequently diagnosed and treated surgically with success, other compression syndromes are less common and are often best treated nonsurgically.

ELECTROMYOGRAPHY IN DIAGNOSIS OF NERVE ROOT COMPRESSION SYNDROME
Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1950ELECTROMYOGRAPHY, long used in physiologic research, has recently emerged as a clinical diagnostic method with a high degree of accuracy and widespread clinical application. With the recent advances in electronics it is now possible to produce commercially a sensitive instrument which utilizes a needle electrode placed directly into a denervated muscle

Modeling Nerve Compression in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2018Nerve function loss can result from a variety of conditions that are either sudden onset like head and spinal cord trauma or slowly develop from chronic pressure as in the case of carpal tunnel syndrome. In either case we see compression ofthe nerve ultimately resulting in axon demyelination and loss of signal conduction. For chronic conditions such as

Spinal Disorders and Nerve Compression Syndromes
2011Spinal disorders and nerve compression syndromes of the elderly are common presenting complaints to both internist and surgeons. In fact, approximately 70% of all patients seeking medical attention have the complaint of back pain at one time in their life. More than 13% have pain lasting more than 2 weeks [1].

Tunnel Compression Syndromes of Median and Ulnar Nerves
2009Entrapment means, “to be caught in a trap”. Nerve compression syndromes that are caused by entrapment may thus be treated by surgical decompression increasing the free space surrounding the nerve. In e.g. the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) it is believed that the median nerve is compressed in the carpal tunnel due to an increased pressure within the ...

Avoiding Complications of Surgery for Nerve Compression Syndromes
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1988This article discusses ways in which the operating surgeon can avoid complications in surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Postoperative problems also are discussed.
