Teaching NeuroImages: sciatic neuropathy after heroin abuse.
A 38-year-old woman presented with acute onset of severe pain in the left calf and foot after inhaling heroin. On examination, she had distal left lower extremity weakness and absent ankle jerk. EMG at 8 weeks suggested an axonal left sciatic neuropathy. HIV test was negative. Creatine kinase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein were normal. MRI revealed prominent edema and e...
متن کاملIncidence of subclinical neuropathy after intraneural injection.
To the Editor: The article by Sala-Blanch et al. paints regional anesthesia into an interesting corner. On one hand, the authors demonstrate that intraneural injection happens frequently during nerve stimulator-guided blocks. On the other hand, the article does not provide convincing evidence that intraneural injection is safe. Neuropathy after peripheral nerve block is uncommon and therefore d...
متن کاملNo clinical or electrophysiologic evidence of nerve injury after intraneural injection during sciatic popliteal block.
BACKGROUND Intraneural injection during nerve-stimulator-guided sciatic block at the popliteal fossa may be a common occurrence. Although intraneural injections have not resulted in clinically detectable neurologic injury in small studies in human subjects, intraneural injections result in postinjection inflammation in animal models. This study used clinical, imaging, and electrophysiologic mea...
متن کاملIntraneural injection during anterior approach for sciatic nerve block.
To the Editor:—We read with interest the case report by Sala-Blanch et al. The authors describe an unorthodox but interesting treatment for patients undergoing continuous sciatic nerve block that raises several concerns. In short, using computed tomographic imaging without clear clinical indication, the authors documented that nerve stimulator–guided needle placement during sciatic nerve block ...
متن کاملCryoglobulinaemic neuropathy: a further cause of bilateral sciatic neuropathy
Bilateral sciatic neuropathy is a rare condition and it has been described as a compression or entrapment neuropathy but it is an uncommon clinical manifestation due to necrotizing vasculitis. We report an unusual case of cryoglobulinaemic neuropathy in an elderly woman with no underlying infectious or neoplastic cause; acute bilateral sciatic mononeuropathy was the presenting clinical manifest...
