all surgical positions carry some degree of position-related risks. the most common serious positional injuries are peripheral nerve injuries. we present a case of 23 years old man with obturator nerve injury with clinically evident sequelae following a scapulopexy of the right shoulder in prone position. basis on our knowledge, no similar cases have been described in the literature. the purpos...

objective facial paralysis in children is very often idiopathic and isolated facial nerve palsy, resulting from leukemic infiltration is a rare occurrence. here we present the case of a 14 year-old boy with acute lymphobastic leukemia, who first presented with isolated right side peripheral facial nerve paralysis and was initially diagnosed with bell's palsy. conclusion the presence of bell's p...

introduction: schawannomas (neuromas, neurilemmomas) are benign tumors originating from showann cells or nerve fiber sheet cells. they are solitary, encapsulated tumors usually attached to, or surrounded by a nerve. case report: we present a case of left hypoglossal nerve schwannoma in a 19 year old man who was admitted with progressive left tongue atrophy. conclusion: schwannoma of the hypoglo...

tumors that originate from the nerve sheath comprise diverse groups -perineuroma, neurofibroma and schwannoma. the epithelioid variant of these tumors is uncommon and mostly seen in malignant counterparts. although this type of morphology is well recognized in peripheral nerve sheath tumors, its presence in the central nerves is rarely reported. very few cases of nerve sheath tumors have been r...

A common cause of peripheral nerve injury is trauma. The positive effect of antioxidants on the improvement of nerve regeneration has currently become a focus of attention. In this experiment, the effect of intraperitoneal administration of ubiquinone (CoQ10) on an acute experimentally sciatic nerve crush was studied in a rat model. Forty-five male Wistar rats, weighing between 160-180 g were u...

Following peripheral nerve compression, peripheral nerve microcirculation plays important roles in regulating the nerve microenvironment and neurotrophic substances, supplying blood and oxygen and maintaining neural conduction and axonal transport. This paper has retrospectively analyzed the articles published in the past 10 years that addressed the relationship between peripheral nerve compres...
