Pathogenesis of Bell's palsy. Retrograde epineurial edema and postedematous fibrous compression neuropathy of the facial nerve.

Only registered users can translate articles

The pathogenesis of Bell's palsy is presented as retrograde epineurial compression edema with ischemia of the facial nerve. Although the etiology is unknown, an attractive theory is vasospasm, from any cause, along any facial nerve branch, with the chorda tympani, perhaps, the usual primary

An unusual cause for a rare neuropathy: pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome secondary to obturator internus muscle edema.

Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome Possibly Triggered by Oral Contraceptives.

Only registered users can translate articles

We herein report a teenage girl who had been taking oral contraceptive pills for three months and complained of left lower abdominal pain that had continued for two months. A physical examination indicated anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES), although no abnormality was found in

Nerve Entrapment Syndromes of the Foot and Ankle.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nerve entrapment at the ankle and midfoot is an important, yet frequently underrecognized, source of foot pain. Familiarity with the nerve anatomy and known entrapment sites facilitates evaluation; local nerve lesions in the foot and ankle must be distinguished from proximal nerve dysfunction and

Spasmodic torticollis: severe compression neuropathy in rami dorsales of cervical nerves C1-6.

Only registered users can translate articles

In 28 patients with spasmodic torticollis dorsal branches of the cervical nerves C1-6, and in 25 of these patients fascicles of the contralateral accessory nerve were investigated by light and electron microscopy. Significant changes were noted in 15 patients. The alterations were not seen or were

Axonal and extracellular matrix responses to experimental chronic nerve entrapment.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have analyzed the ultrastructural and histopathological changes that occur during experimental chronic nerve entrapment, as well as the immunohistochemical expression of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG). Adult hamsters (n = 30) were anesthetized and received a cuff around the right sciatic

MR imaging evaluation of suprascapular nerve entrapment.

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of this study was to assess the significance of muscular edema, atrophy, and fatty changes in the diagnosis of suprascapular nerve entrapment (SSNE), and to confirm muscular edema as the most significant sign of neuropathy. A retrospective study of 18 patients with suprascapular nerve

[Pathogenesis of acute and chronic compression neuropathy].

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to clarify the morphological changes in the cell body following acute, and chronic, nerve compression injuries. One hundred and fifty-eight adult male Wistar rats were used for the experiments. Acute compression was produced by clamping the sciatic nerve (ca. 1.3 mm

Visualization of intraneural edema using gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND In general, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is diagnosed based mainly on clinical findings and electrophysiology. However, the pathological state of the compressed median nerve could not be shown on imaging. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may give us an idea about the

Nerve compression syndromes as models for research on osteopathic manipulative treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Experimental and clinical studies of nerve compression syndromes show that ischemia or edema, singly or combined, causes responses in nerves that lead to alterations in impulse conduction and to commonly observed clinical signs. Because osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is thought to affect

Imaging of intraneural edema by using gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging: experimental compression injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Compressive and entrapment neuropathies are diseases frequently observed on routine clinical examination. A definitive diagnosis based on clinical symptoms and neurologic findings alone is difficult in many cases, however, and electrophysiologic measurement is used as a supplementary

Ultrasound assessment on selected peripheral nerve pathologies. Part I: Entrapment neuropathies of the upper limb - excluding carpal tunnel syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ultrasound (US) is one of the methods for imaging entrapment neuropathies, post-traumatic changes to nerves, nerve tumors and postoperative complications to nerves. This type of examination is becoming more and more popular, not only for economic reasons, but also due to its value in making accurate

Nerve Entrapment in Ankle and Foot: Ultrasound Imaging.

Only registered users can translate articles

Peripheral nerve entrapment of the ankle and foot is relatively uncommon and often underdiagnosed because electrophysiologic studies may not contribute to the diagnosis. Anatomy of the peripheral nerves is variable and complex, and along with a comprehensive physical examination, a thorough

Upper extremity nerve entrapments: the axillary and radial nerves--clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Nontraumatic pain in the shoulder, arm, and hand (brachialgia) is a common complaint in the field of musculoskeletal disorders, where nerve entrapment constitutes a possible cause. The effect of nerve compression is dose-dependent; thus, a low-level compression will only result in

Nerve entrapments associated with postmastectomy lymphedema.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ninety females underwent mastectomy for breast cancer and were thereafter investigated to determine whether nerve entrapments were responsible for some of the disabling symptoms in their arms. The majority of these patients suffered from fullness (edema), numbness, paraesthesia, weakness and pain of
