Pathophysiology of Nerve Compression Syndromes

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1999
Nerve compression syndromes involve peripheral-nerve dysfunction that is due to localized interference of microvascular function and structural changes in the nerve or adjacent tissues. Although a well known example is compression of the median nerve at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome), other nerves, such as the ulnar nerve at the wrist or the elbow ...

Nerve Compression Syndromes in Sport Climbers

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2001
The aim of this study was to determine and evaluate nerve compression syndromes of the upper and lower extremity in sport climbing. Although considerable research has been conducted on orthopedic problems associated with sport climbing, there has been little comprehensive evaluation of the associated neurological problems.

Management of nerve compression syndrome in musicians

Hand Clinics, 2003
Nerve compression syndromes are common in the general population, and they are also common in musicians. As many as 30% of musicians who have a recognized musculoskeletal disorder are diagnosed with a nerve compression syndrome. Thus, it is important to consider the diagnosis of nerve compression syndromes in all musicians who present with ...

Proximal Median Nerve Compression: Pronator Syndrome

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2020
Pronator syndrome (PS) is a compressive neuropathy of the median nerve in the proximal forearm, with symptoms that often overlap with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Because electrodiagnostic studies are often negative in PS, making the correct diagnosis can be challenging. All patients should be initially managed with nonsurgical treatment, but surgical

Median Nerve Compression in Weill-Marchesani Syndrome

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1984
Weill-Marchesani syndrome is a rare, generalized disorder of connective tissue manifested by short stature, brachymorphia, and spherophakia. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. In the less than 50 reported cases, joint stiffness in the hands and thenar atrophy have been noted in adults.

Cranial Nerve Compression Syndromes

2010
Compression 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.

Uncommon Nerve Compression Syndromes of the Upper Extremity

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1998
Nerve 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.

Cranial nerve vascular compression syndromes

2019
Hyperactive 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.

Modeling Nerve Compression in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2018
Nerve 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

ELECTROMYOGRAPHY IN DIAGNOSIS OF NERVE ROOT COMPRESSION SYNDROME

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1950
ELECTROMYOGRAPHY, 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
