Neurovascular Compression Caused by Popliteus Muscle Enlargement Without Discrete Trauma
Popliteal entrapment syndrome caused by isolated popliteus muscle enlargement is very rare, although its occurrence has been reported after discrete trauma. However, popliteal artery stenosis with combined peroneal and proximal tibial neuropathy caused by popliteus muscle enlargement without preceding trauma has not been reported. A 57-year-old man presented with a tingling sensation and pain i...
متن کاملIsolated hypoglossal nerve palsy caused by neurovascular compression.
An 80-year-old man presented with difficulty in swallowing and speaking which had progressed over one year. Neurological examination revealed right hypoglossal nerve palsy with ipsilateral atrophy (Picture A). Laryngoscopic examination was unremarkable. Slowly progressive dysarthria and dysphagia with tongue atrophy initially indicated motor neuron disease (MND), but needle electromyographic ex...
متن کاملPeriodic abducens nerve palsy in adults caused by neurovascular compression.
Unilateral abducens nerve palsy with periodic recurrences is a well-recognised finding in children, but is rare in adults. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism is unknown. Vascular compression of the nerve is suspected but never demonstrated. We describe an adult patient with, altogether, 11 periods of unilateral right-sided abducens palsy and arterial contact at the root exit zone of th...
متن کاملShape and innervation of popliteus muscle
The aim of this study was to delineate the shape of the popliteus muscle and determine the correct motor point site for treating spasticity. A total of 22 legs from 13 fresh Korean cadavers were evaluated. The x-axis was set as a transverse line across the lateral and medial epicondyle of the femur and the y-axis as a vertical line at the midpoint of the medial malleolus of the tibia and latera...
متن کاملHemifacial Spasm and Neurovascular Compression
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by involuntary unilateral contractions of the muscles innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve, usually starting around the eyes before progressing inferiorly to the cheek, mouth, and neck. Its prevalence is 9.8 per 100,000 persons with an average age of onset of 44 years. The accepted pathophysiology of HFS suggests that it is a disease process of the ...
