Study Design Case report and review of the literature. Objective To present a unique case of L5 radiculopathy caused by a sacral stress fracture without neurologic compression. Methods We present our case and its clinical evolution and review the available literature on similar pathologies. Results Relief of the unusual mechanical loading causing sacral stress fracture led to rapid resolution o...

The history, pathoanatomy and pathophysiology, clinical picture, differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of cervical radiculopathy are reviewed. The review is based on a 10-year Medline literature search, review of bibliographies in textbooks, and bibliographies in articles obtained through the search. Cervical radiculopathy, although recognized early in the 20th century, w...

BACKGROUND Theoretically, sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) of the superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) should be preserved when L5 roots are damaged. Previous study indicated that SNAP of SPN was lost or reduced in amplitude in patiens with L5 radiculopathy. To address this issue, this study compared results of SPN sensory conduction studies between healthy subjects and patients with L5 radicu...

The symptoms of mononeuritis associated with eosinophilic granulomatosis polyangiitis (EGPA) resemble those radiculopathy spinal diseases. Herein, we report three cases neuropathy caused by EGPA, which were suspected

OBJECTIVE To delineate cervical radiculopathy that is found in combination with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and to determine whether attendant cervical radiculopathy affects the prognosis and functional outcome for SCI patients. METHODS A total of 66 patients diagnosed with traumatic cervical SCI were selected for neurological assessment (using the International Standards for ...
