OBJECTIVES We planned to examine the relationship between neurovascular compression (NVC) of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) and the magnitude of central sympathetic hyperactivity in normal subjects and in patients with untreated and uncomplicated essential hypertension (EHT). BACKGROUND Previously it has not been possible to establish a definitive relationship between EHT and NVC of...

Kyphosis of the thoracic spine rotates the scapulae anterior laterally, clavicles and subclavius muscles anteriorly, displaces the manubrium posteriorly, which increases the slope of the first ribs. This increases tension on the anterior scalene muscles and the neurovascular bundles which causes brachial plexopathy (TOS). Scheuermann's disease (spinal osteochondrosis; juvenile kyphoscoliosis) i...

ABSTRACT Background: About 50% of patients that suffer from trigeminal neuralgia do not experience sustained benefit the use oral medication. For their adequate management, a few surgical procedures are available. Of these, percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) and microvascular decompression (MD) two most performed worldwide. In this retrospective study, we present outcomes these techniques t...

Various drugs and surgical procedures have been utilized for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Despite numerous available approaches, the results are not completely satisfying. The need for more contemporaneous drugs to control the pain attacks is a common experience. Moreover, a number of patients become drug resistant, needing a surgical procedure to treat the neuralgia. Nonetheless...
