چکیده

In human entrapment neuropathies the characteristic abnormalities in conduction are frequently limited to a short segment of the nerve. Recognition and precise localization of these discrete conduction abnormalities may require measurement of conduction over shorter lengths of the nerves than those lengths commonly employed in the clinical laboratory. Techniques are described for the more precise location of the primary conduction abnormalities in median, ulnar and peroneal nerve entrapments. Distinctive or atypical locations of the major conduction abnormalities may point towards different mechanisms in the pathogenesis of these localized neuropathies.

Prevalence of Concurrent Disorders of Ulnar Nerve Entrapment at the Elbow and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Ahvaz Imam Khomeini Hospital During 2009 to 2012

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most well-known and frequent form of median nerve entrapment, and accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies. Entrapment neuropathies of the ulnar nerve are relatively common with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow more prevalent than ulnar neuropathy at the wrist. The diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is usually confirmed in a relatively straight – ...

The location of conduction abnormalities in human entrapment neuropathies.

Direct stimulation of 23 median, 13 ulnar and 2 peroneal nerves at the time of surgical exploration has been used to locate, and characterize the conduction abnormalities in the nerves. The most frequent location of the major conduction abnormalities in the median nerve was in the first 1-2 cm distal to the origin of the carpal tunnel. In the ulnar nerve the important conduction abnormalities w...

disease: does double crush occur?

Objective-To investigate whether "diseased nerves" are more prone to entrapment neuropathy than normal nerves. Nerve conduction studies of human neuropathies have shown that electrophysiological abnormalities are often most prominent at potential sites of nerve entrapment, and entrapments are more common in patients with radiculopathies-a concept designated as "double crush". As entrapment neur...
