Schwann cell remyelination in experimental herpes simplex encephalitis at the trigeminal root entry zone.
Inoculation of mice on the cornea with herpes simplex virus, type I, results in demyelination of central nervous system (CNS) axons at the trigeminal root entry zone. This study examined the process of remyelination in this area. Between eight and 15 days after corneal infection, increasing numbers of Schwann cells appeared on the CNS side of the trigeminal root entry zone, where they encircled...
متن کاملLinear pontine trigeminal root lesions in multiple sclerosis: clinical and magnetic resonance imaging studies in 5 cases.
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for demonstrating demyelinating lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Magnetic resonance imaging studies show that MS lesions are generally not uniform in shape, size, or distribution. Linearly shaped lesions at the trigeminal root entry zone have been occasionally reported in single cases of MS, but, to our knowlege, the frequen...
متن کاملPrimary glioblastoma of the trigeminal nerve root entry zone: case report.
Gliomas of the cranial nerve root entry zone are rare clinical entities. There have been 11 reported cases in the literature, including only 2 glioblastomas. The authors report the case of a 67-year-old man who presented with isolated facial numbness and was found to have a glioblastoma involving the trigeminal nerve root entry zone. After biopsy the patient completed treatment with conformal r...
متن کاملLong-term follow up of dorsal root entry zone lesions in brachial plexus avulsion.
The long-term results of 44 patients who underwent dorsal route entry zone (DREZ) lesioning for pain secondary to brachial plexus avulsion are reported with a mean clinical follow up period of 63 months. The postoperative analgesic effect was judged by the patients as being good (greater than 75% pain reduction), fair (25-75% pain reduction), or poor (0-25% pain reduction). With these criteria ...
متن کاملDorsal root entry zone lesions (Nashold's procedure) for pain relief following brachial plexus avulsion.
Brachial plexus avulsion is an important cause of severe intractable pain, particularly in young motor cyclists. The pain usually develops soon after the injury. In a minority of cases severe pain persists and is refractory to management. Nineteen patients are reviewed in whom dorsal root entry zone lesions have been produced for pain relief. The operative technique is described. Early post-ope...
