OBJECTIVE
Whereas the posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) technique with pedicle screw fixation has shown satisfactory clinical results, solid fusion has been reported to accelerate degenerative changes at adjacent unfused levels, especially at the cranial level. The aim of this retrospective
This article presents the history of the discovery of compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel without an identifiable cause as a distinct clinical entity. By analyzing primary sources, we show that, at the beginning of the twentieth century, physicians described patients with
BACKGROUND

Spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an X-linked recessive disease, presenting motor weakness and wasting of facial, bulbar and limb muscles. Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) is autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent neuropathies at common entrapment
A 23-year-old man developed slowly progressive muscle weakness from the age of 10, followed by paresthesia and urinary disturbance. The physical examination showed bilateral muscular atrophy in the lower limbs and dissociated sensory disturbance below Th8. Although there was normal appearance of
