Regeneration after spinal nerve root injury
Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience, 1990Spinal nerve root avulsion has been considered as a central nervous type of injury and therefore not repaired surgically in man. The possibility for axonal regeneration after root avulsion or root lesion has been investigated in laboratory animals by means of up to date neurophysiological, morphological and tracing techniques.

Selective nerve root block is a commonly performed procedure for targeted injection of anaesthetic agent and steroids for achieving pain relief in the affected neural distribution. It is widely used as a diagnostic tool and therapeutic procedure in non-malignant conditions such as degenerative disc disease.

Effects of Corticosteroids on Nerve Root Recovery After Spinal Nerve Root Compression
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2002Corticosteroids have been used in the treatment of radiculopathy and postoperative pain after lumbar disc surgery. Although the effects of steroids are thought to be antiinflammatory, the underlying nature of action may be more complex and may involve a direct effect on pain mediators like substance P.

Structural properties of spinal nerve roots: Biomechanics
Experimental Neurology, 1986The biomechanics of spinal nerve roots obtained from normal and nerve-crushed mice were evaluated. Photographs and longitudinal force measurements were taken as nerve roots were elongated through mechanical failure. Proportional limit stress and strain as well as the apparent modulus were calculated from photographic and force measurements to ...

Multiple neurofibromas of the spinal nerve roots
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 1995This report describes a rare case of a suspected neurofibromatosis type 1 patient who had multiple bilateral spinal neurofibromas from the cervical to the sacral spinal dorsal nerve roots. The lesions were readily detected by MR imaging and the largest tumour was successfully resected.

Neuropeptide Changes in Compressed Spinal Nerve Roots
Spine, 1995Compression-induced changes in the concentration of substance P and VIP (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide), in spinal nerve roots and dorsal root ganglia were studied in an experimental nerve root compression model in pigs.To analyze by radioimmunoassay the concentration of the neuropeptides substance P and VIP in a model for experimental chronic ...

Ependymoma of the Spinal Nerve Root
Neurosurgery, 1992Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary tumor of the spinal cord. They are most common at the region of the cauda equina, accounting for up to 90% of primary tumors in that area. Extraspinal ependymomas are rare. We describe a case of an ependymoma arising in a spinal peripheral nerve root.

Electron Microscopy of Human Spinal-Nerve Roots
Archives of Neurology, 1966Two SPECIMENS of human dorsal nerve root have been obtained, sufficiently fresh for electron microscopy. They have, respectively, some of the characteristics of normal and long-damaged dorsal roots as seen in the rat,1but they also exhibit features not seen in rat material, which, taken with the rarity of the material, make the findings of some ...

New nerve root holders during spinal decompression
Neurological Research, 1999New nerve root holders have been developed to protect nerve roots and dural sac during spinal bony decompression, especially if it takes place in the region of the lateral recess by means of a high speed air drill. Their design derives from the adaptation of common brain spatulas to the anatomy of the lumbar nerve roots.

The intersegmental anastomoses between spinal nerve roots
The Anatomical Record, 1989AbstractFrequency and morphological characteristics of the intersegmental anastomoses between the spinal roots were investigated in 100 adult spinal cords from the cervical to lumbar segments. The frequencies of dorsal root anastomoses were 61, 7, and 22% of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar cords, respectively.
