Focal conduction block in compression neuropathy of the proximal sciatic nerve.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct percutaneous stimulation of the proximal sciatic nerve with a high voltage electrical stimulator was given to a patient with acute sciatic compression neuropathy. Results clearly showed a focal conduction block at the sciatic notch, which could not be precisely localised and quantified by conventional electrodiagnostic methods.

Age-Dependent Regeneration by Using Electromyographical Study Foliowing Sciatic Nerve Injury in Rat
Purpose: There are extensive evidences that show axonal processes of the nervous system (peripheral and/or central) may be degenerated after nerve injuries. Axonal regeneration is relation to various factors. In this investigation we decided to evaluate the effects of nerve regeneration age-dependent on injured rat sciatic nerv. Materials and Methods: For this study, the right sciatic nerve of...
متن کاملFocal conduction block in the dorsal root ganglion in experimental allergic neuritis.
Acute experimental allergic neuritis was induced in Lewis rats by inoculation with bovine intradural root myelin and adjuvants. In terminal experiments, sensory conduction was assessed in rats with hindlimb ataxia and weakness by stimulating the exposed sciatic nerve and recording directly from the exposed L-4 spinal nerve, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, and dorsal root entry zone. Focal co...

Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...

Background: Neuropathy is one of the important complications of diabetes. Deficiency of the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) that occurs in both human diabetic neuropathy and animal diabetes models is one of the indicators for diabetic neuropathy. In the present study, we examined the effect of enalapril, angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitor on NCV, number of endoneurial capillaries and th...
متن کاملHigh-resolution ultrasound as a diagnostic adjunct in common peroneal neuropathy.
E ntrapment neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve is caused mostly by compression at the fibula head region. In cases of severe axon loss, demonstration of conduction block or reduction of conduction velocity would be difficult. Apart from demyelination, mechanical factors and ischemic mechanisms may play a role. Differing degrees of damage to individual nerve fascicles may occur within the c...
