Comparison between fascicular and whole sural nerve biopsy.
Sural nerve regeneration and sensation were evaluated in 16 subjects five or more years after fascicular or whole nerve biopsy. Conduction studies demonstrated successful nerve regeneration in all subjects who had whole nerve biopsy. Postbiopsy interrogation revealed no long-term pain or paresthesias but a high incidence of tactile-induced dysesthesias. No significant difference was seen when a...
متن کاملSubjective outcome related to donor site morbidity after sural nerve graft harvesting: a survey in 41 patients

Our aim was to evaluate subjective outcome in the lower leg after harvesting the sural nerve for grafting nerve defects. METHODS Forty-six patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire to describe symptoms from leg or foot, where the sural nerve has been harvested to reconstruct an injured major ner...

A study by an investigative team in the Department of Neurology at Emory University in Atlanta suggests that sural nerves indeed are affected. In reviewing cases entered into the Emory University motor neuron disease registry between 1997 and 2004...
متن کاملSensory neuropathy in X-linked recessive bulbospinal neuronopathy.
X-linked recessive bulbospinal neuronopathy (X-BSN) is an adult-onset spinal and bulbar amyotrophy. Neurophysiologic studies demonstrate subclinical involvement of sensory nerves with diminished or absent sensory nerve action potientials and denervation changes, indicating the involvement of sensory neurons. We report the clinical features, findings of electrophysiologic study, and results of m...
متن کاملNerve biopsy and conduction studies in diabetic neuropathy.
Morphological findings in sural nerves were related to nerve conduction in 12 patients with diabetic neuropathy, five with mainly sensory involvement, four with severe, symmetrical sensory-motor polyneuropathy, and three with multiple mononeuropathy. All had loss of large and small myelinated and of unmyelinated fibres, even early in the disease; segmental remyelination was the most prominent m...
