Paralabral cyst around hip is reported to be a cause of compression of the major neurovascular structures. Although, arthroscopic cyst and labral debridement is generally accepted as the effective treatment, there is limited literature available regarding treatment options for paralabral cysts in the hip. We present a case of paralabral cyst compressing left common femoral vein in the hip that ...

BACKGROUND Chronic nerve compression neuropathies result in decreased blood flow at the site of compression. Surgical decompression of the nerve often has variable postoperative results. The current study examines whether the timing of surgical intervention is an important variable in reversing the compression-induced ischemia and associated changes in biochemical markers. METHODS An establis...

Chronic dislocation of the knee is a rare condition due to a diagnostic mistake during emergency assessment. Usually, dislocation obliges the surgeon to carry out a broad assessment, with vascular and neurological examination, and a thorough assessment of joint injuries. The immediate and stable closed reduction can resolve neurovascular compression. The most serious late sequela is joint insta...

Neurovascular compression has been postulated as a probable mechanism for a large number of cranial nerve syndromes, with trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) as the prime example. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is often cited as the procedure of choice for treatment of medically refractory TGN. Arguments against these assumptions are: MRA studies indicate that vascular contact with the trigeminal ner...

Although neurovascular confliction was believed to be the cause of hemifacial spasm (HFS), the mechanism of the disorder remains unclear to date. Current theories, merely focusing on the facial nerve, have failed to explain the clinical phenomenon of immediate relief following a successful microvascular decompression surgery (MVD). With the experience of thousands of microvascular decompression...

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a frequently overlooked peripheral nerve compression or tension event that creates difficulties for the clinician regarding diagnosis and management. Investigators have categorized this condition as vascular versus neurogenic, where vascular TOS can be subcategorized as either arterial or venous and neurogenic TOS can subcategorized as either true or disputed. ...
