We describe a patient who presented with an acute paresis of her distal right hand suggesting a peripheral median nerve lesion. However, on clinical examination a peripheral origin could not be verified, prompting further investigation. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed an acute ischaemic lesion in the hand knob area of the motor cortex. Isolated hand palsy in association w...

one of the important causes of strabismus in all ages is extraocular muscles paralysis due to 3rd, 4th and 6th cerebral nerve palsies. exact and on-time treatment can result in improvement of deviation, am-blyopia and abnormal head posture. we studied epidemiological characteristics of extraocular muscles paralysis. this retrospective study performed on 131 subjects (58% male). records of patie...

OBJECTIVE To compare shoulder function, radial nerve palsy and infection after interlocking nailing with plating of fractures of shaft of humerus during 30 weeks of follow-up. STUDY DESIGN Experimental study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Orthopaedic Wards of Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from November 2006 to November 2008. METHODOLOGY Two groups of 30 patients each were inducted...

Lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasms that occur commonly in subcutaneous tissue. In rare instances they can occur in deeper planes. When occurring in the proximal forearm they can compress the posterior interosseous branch of the radial nerve resulting in an insidious onset of weakness of digital extensor muscles. A case of posterior interosseous nerve palsy from lipoma in a 58-year-old man...

footdrop is a relatively common deficit among the neurological disorders, which has different causes with various levels of involvement in neuromuscular system, including central nervous system (brain cortex, spinal cord), fifth lumbar root, peripheral nerves and muscles. peroneal nerve injury at the fibular head has been reported to the most common cause of foot drop, which can be due to infar...

Introduction: Radial nerve palsy, a common peripheral injury, significantly impacts the quality of life affected individuals. The standard treatment is tendon transfer, but optimal choice transfers remains subject ongoing debate. This study aimed to evaluate radial palsy through transfer with flexor carpi radialis combination in Bangladeshi population. Methods: observational was conducted over ...

BACKGROUND Damage to the radial nerve in the arm during revision of total elbow arthroplasty is a serious complication; which is still not well documented. The aim of this study was to define a way on how to avoid this complication and to prevent it. PATIENTS AND METHODS Four patients underwent radial palsy after revision of total elbow arthroplasty. An anatomical study on 20 upper limbs was ...

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A baby boy was born at term by forceps extraction following uneventful pregnancy. The baby did not require resuscitation at birth. On routine postnatal check, it was noticed that the baby had left-sided wrist drop ( fi gure 1 ). An area of palpable subcutaneous nodules with some erythema was identifi ed over the lower part of left arm ( fi gure 2 ). It was thought to be subcu...

AIM OF THE STUDY The injury of the radial nerve is not uncommon in humeral shaft fractures. These lesions may be of different types and levels and their treatment changes depending on traumatic characteristic. The authors present a case report of a patient affected by a closed shaft humeral fracture, consequence of an high energy trauma, associated with motor palsy of the radial nerve in which ...
