INTRODUCTION Distal median nerve masses may be developed post-traumatic or non-traumatic. In this paper, we aim to present a 52 year old female case with a postraumatic neuroma of the median nerve in the left wrist. CASE SERIES A 52-year-old female patient had accidental incised wound over her left wrist which was primarily sutured. She presented 6 months later with unrelieved pain and growin...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous radial palsy is a not rare finding in hand clinics. The anatomy of the radial nerve renders it prone to pressure paralysis as often called "Saturday night palsy". This problem is a transient nerve lesion and an acute one but the case presented here is very unusual in that it seems this entity can also occur as an acute on chronic situation with neuroma formation. CASE...

case presentation here, we report the case of a 35-year-old man complaining of bilateral incomplete eye closure, two weeks after a closed head injury caused by a motor vehicle accident. introduction although bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare condition, its etiology is more detectable than the unilateral type. a temporal bone fracture is one cause of bilateral facial nerve palsy, contributi...

The cell surface antigen distribution on traumatic neuroma Schwann cells and neurofibroma Schwann-like cells was characterized using mono clonal antibodies that define melanoma-associated antigens. Immunofluorescence staining of cultured cells, immunoprecipitation of radioiodinated antigens from cells placed in short-term cultures, and immunoperoxidase staining of frozen tissue sections reveale...

STUDY DESIGN Case report. OBJECTIVES A rare case of anterior cervical second root traumatic neuroma with no history of trauma is reported, and possible etiology is discussed. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Traumatic neuroma is the reactive, nonneoplastic proliferation in the injured nerve. Several atypical locations of traumatic neuroma have been reported. To date, only 4 cervical traumatic neu...

The cell surface antigen distribution on traumatic neuroma Schwann cells and neurofibroma Schwann-like cells was characterized using monoclonal antibodies that define melanoma-associated antigens.

The effect of proximal epineural stripping on neuroma formation was studied in the peroneal nerve stumps of the rat. After transection of the peroneal nerve, the epineurium of the proximal stump was stripped back by 6 to 8mm and the nerve fascicles left uncovered in the study group. The transected nerve was left untreated in the control group. All nerves were evaluated by light microscopy 6 mon...

Introduction: To report our experience with a large series of surgical procedures for removal of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors using different approaches.   Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 50 patients (mean age, 49 years) with CPA tumors (predominantly acoustic neuroma) who underwent surgical removal using appropriate techniques (principally a translabyrinthine...

BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve repair is often complicated by fibroblastic scar formation, nerve dysfunction, and traumatic neuroma formation. Use of silicone may improve outcomes of these repairs. In this study, we tried to evaluate effectiveness of silicone gel on rats' sciatic nerve repair, axon regeneration and scar formation around and in the nervous tissues. METHODS This experimental study...

Abducent palsy, a dysfunction of cranial nerve VI causing diplopia, has an annual population incidence of about 11 per 100 000, of which 3% follow neurosurgery. About 60% of patients with isolated abducent palsy from vascular causes recover within 9 months. Diplopia can significantly affect the person’s quality of life, making simple everyday tasks difficult to manage and even dangerous. Acupun...
