Nutcracker phenomenon and idiopathic IgA nephropathy Sir, Entrapment of the left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery is a documented cause of both postural proteinuria as well as intermittent gross haematuria associated with left flank pain. Idiopathic IgA nephropathy typically presents with recurrent episodes of gross haema-turia, usually following an acute febrile ...

Side-branch wire (SBW) entrapment has been reported with increasing frequency recently. We report early recognition of SBW entrapment in a 60-year-old woman.

The diagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow has relied primarily on clinical and electrodiagnostic findings. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in the evaluation of peripheral nerve entrapment disorders to document signal and configurational changes in nerves. In this case report we review the MRI and operative findings of a rare constriction band causing ulnar nerve compre...

Bowel entrapment within a pelvic injury is rare and difficult to diagnose. Usually, it is diagnosed late because of concomitant abdominal injuries. It may present itself as an acute intestinal obstruction or, more commonly, as a prolonged or intermittent ileus. Therefore, one should be aware of this late complication and primarily take measures for avoiding bowel entrapment. This report describ...

OBJECTIVES Few studies have specifically tested the Cry of Pain model (CoP model; Williams, 2001). This model conceptualizes suicidal behaviour as a behavioural response to a stressful situation which has three components: defeat, no escape potential, and no rescue. In addition, the model specifies a mediating role for entrapment on the defeat-suicidal ideation relationship, and a moderating ro...

Peripheral neuropathy is defined as deranged function and structure of peripheral, motor, sensory, and autonomic neurons, involving either the entire neuron or selected levels. The major categories of peripheral neuropathies are seen in Table 28-1. Because this chapter is concerned with nerve problems seen in the foot that are most amenable to local treatment, only the last four categories are ...

blow out fracture is a common disease in oculoplastics clinics. one of indication for surgical intervention is entrapment of inferior rectus muscle in the fractured site. in this article authors represent two cases with this disease who underwent surgery for the entrapment of perimuscular fascia without inferior rectus muscle involvement. the results of treatment in both cases were excellent. t...

An eight year old boy with multiple simple congenital ring constrictions is described with peripheral nerve palsies caused by entrapment in the constrictions. It is suggested that ring constrictions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of entrapment neuropathy.
