Effect of Median Nerve Mobilization and Median Nerve Self-Mobilization on Median Motor Nerve Conduction Velocity

Case Report: Median Nerve Cavernous Hemangioma

Hemangiomas of the median nerve are extremely rare; only 12 cases have been reported in the literature. We discuss a patient who presented with paresthesia and pain along the distribution of the left median nerve secondary to a cavernoma of the proximal part of the nerve as suspected on MRI scan. Total removal of the mass was achieved with immediate relief of the symptoms and no neurologic defi...

Median Nerve Lipofibrohamartoma: A Treatment Dilemma

Nerve Conduction Studies of Median Motor Nerve and Median Sensory Branches According to the Severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

OBJECTIVE To evaluate each digital branch of the median sensory nerve and motor nerves to abductor pollicis brevis (APB) and 2nd lumbrical (2L) according to the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS A prospective study was performed in 67 hands of 41 patients with CTS consisting of mild, 23; moderate, 27; and severe cases, 17. Compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) were obtaine...

Median Nerve Stimulation

brain injury due to cerebrovascular disorder, whos lives can be saved, has increased. Along with this phenomenon, however, the number of patients with persistent vegetative state has been increasing, and thus constitutes an important issue. No effective treatment method for persistent vegetative state has been established but some reports have recently shown that spinal epidural stimulation and...

Median Nerve Trifurcation

Median nerve trifurcation in the carpal tunnel has only rarely been described and never reported to be found at surgery. We present the first such case, highlighting a median nerve trifurcation found at carpal tunnel release. Consideration of amendment of the Lanz classification should be made to account for such cases, and surgeons should be aware of possible anatomical variations to avoid iat...
