Previous studies have demonstrated that morphological changes in the suprascapular notch are closely associated with suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome (SNES). Thus, we hypothesized that the supr...
We acquired suprascapular notch data from 10 patients with SNES and 10 healthy individuals who had undergone shoulder magnetic resonance imaging (S-MRI) and had no evidence of SNES. T2-weighted corona...
The mean SSNCSA was 64.50 ± 8.93 mm2 in the control group and 44.94 ± 10.40 mm2 in the SNES group. Patients with SNES had significantly lower SSNCSA (P < 0.01) than those in the control group. Receive...
The SSNCSA was found to have acceptable diagnostic properties for detecting SNES. We hope that these results will help diagnose SNES objectively....
Compression of the sensory branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) in the proximal forearm is an uncommon condition, leading to both motor and sensory deficits. The aim of this study is to assess the surgic...
A retrospective study of prospectively collected data was conducted on patients undergoing brachioradialis release (BRR) from March 2014 to March 2021. The measured outcomes included quick-DASH (Disab...
A total of twenty patients (mean age of 44.1 (range 25-62) were included in this study, of which nine (45%) were males. Eleven patients (55%) underwent isolated BRR, while the other nine patients (45%...
BRS is an uncommon radial nerve compression syndrome in the proximal forearm that differs from the more commonly recognized radial tunnel syndrome. It presents with radio-volar forearm pain, disturbed...
Most compression neuropathies can be reliably treated with surgical decompression; however, in approximately 25% of the cases, this release fails, requiring revision surgery. Defining the correct diag...
Obturator nerve entrapment or idiopathic obturator neuralgia is an unfamiliar pathology for many physicians which can lead to diagnostic errancy. This study aims to identify the potential compression ...
18 anatomical dissections of lower limbs from 9 anatomical cadavers were performed. Endopelvic and exopelvic surgical approaches were utilized to study the anatomical variations of the nerve and to id...
On 7 limbs, the posterior branch of the obturator nerve passed through the external obturator muscle. A fascia between the adductor brevis and longus muscles was present in 9 of the 18 limbs. The ante...
Idiopathic obturator neuropathy remains a difficult diagnosis. Our cadaveric study did not allow us to formally identify one or more potential anatomical entrapment zones. However, it allowed the iden...
Neuropathies of the elbow represent a spectrum of disorders that involve more frequently the ulnar, radial, and median nerves. Reported multiple pathogenic factors include mechanical compression, trau...
Upper extremity nerve compression syndromes and migraines caused by nerve entrapment have many similarities, including patient presentation, anatomical findings, and treatment by surgical decompressio...
Nine thousand five hundred fifty-eight patients who underwent nerve decompression surgery of the upper extremity (median, ulnar, and radial nerves and thoracic outlet syndrome) as identified by CPT an...
Median nerve decompression (OR, 1.3; 95 percent CI, 1.0 to 1.8; p = 0.046) and multiple nerve decompressions (OR, 1.7; 95 percent CI, 1.2 to 2.5; p = 0.008) were independently associated with higher r...
Patients who undergo median and multiple nerve decompression are more likely to experience migraine headache. It is important to recognize this overlap and provide comprehensive patient screening for ...
Risk, III....
Clinical symptoms of pelvic entrapment neuropathies are widely variable and frequently nonspecific, thus rendering it difficult to localize and diagnose. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and in parti...
Continued advancements in magnetic resonance (MR) neurography and ultrasound have made both indispensable tools for the workup of peripheral neuropathy. Ultrasound provides high spatial resolution of ...
Despite the heterogeneity of chronic lower back pain aetiologies, cluneal nerve entrapment remains underdiagnosed and poorly understood with few studies discussing the efficacy of its surgical release...
The current study opts to conduct a systematic review reporting on the efficacy of cluneal nerve surgical decompression in patients with an established diagnosis who fail conservative treatment. We ai...
A systematic review of the English language literature dating up until May 2022 was undertaken according to the PRISMA guidelines. Isolated case reports were excluded....
Of a total of 54 articles, 4 studies met the inclusion criteria (three were level IV evidence and one level III evidence) and were analyzed. Overall, 98 patients of mean age 61 years, (range 17-86) un...
This systematic review demonstrated that cluneal nerve decompression has been performed in a total of 98 patients with significant clinical improvement, zero systemic and local complications and revis...
Visual loss secondary to a vascular loop or atherosclerotic carotid has been a controversial topic for many years with contemporary data supporting its existence. The role of surgery in the management...
A search strategy was devised in accordance with the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. An electronic search was performed from the databases Pu...
A total of 2469 articles were screened with 15 articles describing 18 patients being included. Of these cases, eleven involved compression due to unilateral or bilateral dolichoectatic internal caroti...
Two distinct compressive entities can be differentiated. Compressive optic neuropathy at the entrance of the optic canal due to pinching between an ectatic carotid and the falciform ligament. A second...
