several previous studies of adults have reported that the amplitudes of the sural and superficial radial nerve (sn and srn) action potentials are larger with antidromic than with orthodromic recordings. however, this difference has not been documented in children. this study evaluated the amplitudes of sn and srn sensory nerve action potentials (snaps), obtained with antidromic and orthodromic ...

anatomical vascular variations are rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. an aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. this article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radial...

introduction: lasers, light emitting diodes (leds) and super luminous diodes (slds) are widely used to treat selected musculoskeletal, integumentary and neurological conditions. the mechanisms underlying the reported treatment effects of light therapy are unclear and the physiologic effect of light on a variety of tissues, particularly neurological, is mostly unknown. a few researchers have rep...

INTRODUCTION We report a rare case of a ganglion cyst at the elbow causing neurological symptoms by stretching the superficial radial nerve alone. Ganglia associated with radial nerve palsy at the elbow have been reported previously involving the deep branch of the posterior interosseous nerve and the superficial radial nerve, but not the superficial radial nerve alone. CASE PRESENTATION A 45...

variations in arterial anatomy are less frequent, contrary to the venous system, and most of these variations affect visceral arteries. variations in the brachial artery are the most frequently reported and so far a minimum of six different patterns have been described. the most common of these patterns is the superficial brachial artery, which lies superficially to the median nerve. much less ...

Loss of hand sensations in Hansen’s disease (HD) leads to major disability which compromises the patient’s quality life. We report first case sensory restoration by transfer a superficial branch radial nerve median nerve.

Background: The median nerve is one of the most important branches of the brachial plexus. Due to the role of the median nerve in sensory and motor innervation of the forearm and hand in the upper limbs, its blood supply is very important. Awareness of variations in the blood supply pattern to this nerve reduces the incidence of necrosis and ischemia of the nerve during surgical and diagnostic ...
