Purpose: Is to evaluate the accuracy of fused 3D time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography and Steady-State sequence (FIESTA) versus contrast-enhanced T1 weighted images in evaluation neurovascular compression via an inter-observer agreement protocol. Methods: Patients presented with trigeminal neuralgia, tinnitus, or facial hemispasm were examined using 3D-TOF-MRA, 3D-FIESTA, T1WI cerebellopontine a...

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by localized gigantism of one or several digits. It mayinvolve the entire limb due to progressive overgrowth all mesenchymal elements with an excessive increase in fibro-adiposetissues. occurs most commonly lower limbs. comes clinical attention for cosmetic reasons, mechanical problems secondaryto degenerative joint di...

One of the mechanisms suggested for the etiology of trigeminal neuralgia is compression and’ distortion of the nerve in the pontine zone by the superior and anterior inferior cerebellar arteries or their branches. Conflicting reports have been presented by various workers on this issue. The present study was conducted on cadaveric specimens. The superior cerebellar artery was found to be in con...

The anterior interosseous nerve can become entrapped within the antecubital fossa at its origin from the median nerve, which results in the so-called Kiloh-Nevin syndrome. In this report, the authors describe an atypical anterior interosseous nerve syndrome due to neurovascular relationships with the anterior interosseous artery. The patient complained of unbearable analgesic-resistant pain wit...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Minimally invasive internal fixation is also called "biological internal fixation". This concept is used widely in the treatment of various fractures but to date, there have been no report about such application in the repair of isolated ulnar bone fractures. METHODS Eleven patients with fracture of isolated ulnar bone (four AO type 22A11 and seven AO type 22A12), mean ...

Introduction Humerus non-union is a challenging situation for the surgeon and devastating and morbid situation for the patient. Surgical approach to the humerus is demanding because of the complex neurovascular anatomy and especially when previous surgeries have been attempted. Case Report We report a case of a young adult male who sustained a compound fracture of humerus shaft treated with i...
