Focal upper limb demyelinating neuropathy

Massive peripheral nerve hypertrophy in a patient with multifocal upper limb demyelinating neuropathy (Lewis-Sumner syndrome).

Sensory pathophysiology in chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathy.

Pathophysiological changes in sensory fibres in chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathy (CADP) are poorly understood, and it is not known to what extent sensory loss may be due to axonal loss or to conduction block. Motor and sensory nerve condition were studied in 18 patients with CADP to delineate abnormalities in the compound sensory action potential (CSAP) recorded proximally along the li...

Upper limb neuropathy in computer operators? A clinical case study of 21 patients

BACKGROUND The character of upper limb disorder in computer operators remains obscure and their treatment and prevention have had limited success. Symptoms tend to be mostly perceived as relating to pathology in muscles, tendons or insertions. However, the conception of a neuropathic disorder would be supported by objective findings reflecting the common complaints of pain, subjective weakness,...

Prevalence of Upper Limb Neuropathy in Rehabilitated Spinal Cord Injured Patients in South India

Introduction: Paraplegics with spinal cord injury, independent in activities of daily living (ADL) are known to have upper limb neuropathy due to constant use for mobility and transfers. Additionally architectural barriers, disabled unfriendly public transport, diffi cult terrains and sociocultural barriers in a developing country like India, further adds strain on the upper limbs. Hence, it is...

Ischaemic monomelic neuropathy in a non-diabetic patient following creation of an upper limb arteriovenous fistula.

The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Australia is estimated at 0.05% of the population. The majority of these patients will choose haemodialysis as the preferred form of renal replacement therapy, requiring creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The subsequent haemodynamic disturbance can lead to neurological or ischaemic problems. The reported frequency of such complications...
