purpose: to report the first case of concomitant optic nerve transection and chorioretinitis sclopetaria patient and findings: a 12-year-old boy with history of bb gun injury to his right eye was referred for loss of vision 8 months after the accident. visual acuity in the right eye was counting fingers at one meter with 3+ rapd. on slit lamp examination, right eye seemed normal except 1+ anter...

AIM The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the benefits of ultrasonographic imaging in the surgical treatment of upper extremity peripheral nerve lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Peripheral nerves in the upper extremity were evaluated by using real-time ultrasonographic examination. The capability of ultrasonography in terms of determination the type of injury, the position of the proxim...

Despite the important role of both cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms (i.e. COX-1 and COX-2) in maintenance of hypersensitivity following peripheral nerve injury, their role in the development of neuropathic pain is not clear. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of COX inhibitors to address the potential role of COX isozymes in the development of neuropathic pain in rats after c...

Peripheral nerve blocks have become a gold standard for anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in limb girdle surgeries due to the feeling of security, simplicity locoregional anesthesia, absence certain adverse effects when general especially quality analgesia. However, has risk.We present two case reports peripheral neuropathy after involving lumbar plexus median nerve.We discuss through lite...

OBJECTIVE To verify the functionality through muscle grip strength in animals with obesity induced by monosodium glutamate (MSG) and in control animals, which suffered compression of the right median nerve, and treated with swimming with overload. METHODS During the first five days of life, neonatal Wistar rats received subcutaneous injections of MSG. The control group received a hypertonic s...

BACKGROUND In regional anaesthesia, there is a risk of direct nerve injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the diameter of the applied needle is associated with the magnitude of nerve injury after needle nerve perforation. METHODS In five anaesthetized pigs, the brachial plexus were exposed bilaterally. Up to eight nerves underwent needle nerve perforation using a 24 G pen...

Local steroid injections are widely used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in the management of carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve injury is the most serious complication in association with carpal tunnel injections although the incidence is low. A median nerve injury will be presented with shooting pain at the injection time along with other sensory distortion, motor weakness and m...

Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome is a rare congenital condition that rarely affects peripheral nerves. Median nerve involvement at carpal tunnel level has only been reported in a few   occasions in the medial literature. A 61 years old Caucasian female patient with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome presented with a 10 months history of paraesthesiae and numbness affecting the median nerve distribution area...

Median nerve compression is a well-known cause of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Yet, reasons why the most common idiopathic form of CTS develops in certain individuals are not well understood. To further understand the compressive mechanisms at work in CTS development, the authors used ultrasonographic imaging of the median nerve to evaluate 2 patients with CTS. Findings were compared to those ...
