Chronic sciatic nerve compression induces fibrosis in dorsal root ganglia
In the present study, pathological alterations in neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were investigated in a rat model of chronic sciatic nerve compression. The rat model of chronic sciatic nerve compression was established by placing a 1 cm Silastic tube around the right sciatic nerve. Histological examination was performed via Masson's trichrome staining. DRG injury was assessed using Fl...
متن کاملNerve root compression in spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis.
Thirty-four bony specimens of isthmic spondylolysis were examined and, in a significant number (32%), stenosis of the intervertebral foramen was noted. Although not emphasised in previous reports, this finding may be an important factor in the aetiology of nerve root compression when this is associated with spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis. Anatomical guidelines for adequate surgical decompr...
متن کاملNerve Entrapment Syndromes
may present with well-defi ned symptoms of ulnar nerve compression at the elbow; electrical studies, however, may have normal results in the ulnar nerve but reveal changes of carpal tunnel syndrome (which may be either subclinical or less symptomatic to the patient). Post-traumatic thickening of the brachial fascia in the distal arm can produce a simultaneous median and lateral antebrachial ner...
متن کاملEndoscopic decompression for intraforaminal and extraforaminal nerve root compression
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of endoscopic decompression surgery for intraforaminal and extraforaminal nerve root compression in the lumbar spine. METHODS The records from seventeen consecutive patients treated with endoscopic posterior decompression without fusion for intaforaminal and extraforaminal nerve root compression in the lumbar spine (7 males and 1...
متن کاملSuprascapular nerve entrapment.
It is important to be aware of neuropathy involving the suprascapular nerve. While direct trauma to the suprascapular nerve is the usual cause (direct blow to the base of the neck or posterior shoulder, shoulder dislocation or fracture), the problem may result from overuse injuries (such as repetitive tennis serving or spiking of a volley ball), excessive horizontal adduction, weight lifting, b...
