a common cause of peripheral nerve injury is trauma. the positive effect of antioxidants on the improvement of nerve regeneration has currently become a focus of attention. in this experiment, the effect of intraperitoneal administration of ubiquinone (coq10) on an acute experimentally sciatic nerve crush was studied in a rat model. forty-five male wistar rats, weighing between 160-180 g were u...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical results from treating chronic peripheral nerve injuries using the superficial peroneal nerve as a graft donor source. METHODS This was a study on eleven patients with peripheral nerve injuries in the upper limbs that were treated with grafts from the sensitive branch of the superficial peroneal nerve. The mean time interval between the dates of the injury an...

ltrasonography not only permits a detailed assessment of peripheral nerves but also is useful for intrinsic nerve abnormality detection, as in peripheral nerve enlargement (eg, in trauma, peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and nerve compression). Ultrasonography can also be used to locate nerve compression due to an extrinsic factor (eg, compression of the posterior interosseous nerve by the arcad...

We investigated the use of direct lengthening of the distal stump of a peripheral nerve to compare the results of nerve regeneration using the direct lengthening method with simple end-to-end suture and autografting in rats. A segment 10 mm long was resected from the rat sciatic nerve (n=18 in each group). The distal nerve stump was fixed to a ring and pulled at a rate of 1 mm/day for 20 days u...

Biological nerve grafts have been extensively utilized in the past to repair peripheral nerve injuries. More recently, the use of synthetic guidance tubes in repairing these injuries has gained in popularity. This review focuses on artificial conduits, nerve regeneration through them, and an account of various synthetic materials that comprise these tubes in experimental animal and clinical tri...

Concepts of neuronal damage and repair date back to ancient times. The research in this topic has been growing ever since and numerous nerve repair techniques have evolved throughout the years. Due to our greater understanding of nerve injuries and repair we now distinguish between central and peripheral nervous system. In this review, we have chosen to concentrate on peripheral nerve injuries ...

Peripheral nerve trauma frequently affects younger people and may result in significant and long-lasting functional disability. Currently, diagnosis and monitoring of peripheral nerve injury relies on clinical and electrodiagnostic information, supplemented by intraoperative electrophysiological studies. However, in a significant proportion of nerve injuries, the likelihood of spontaneous regen...

Trigeminal schwannoma is a neurogenic tumor of the fifth cranial nerve. Despite advances in surgical practice, stereotactic radiosurgery an alternative treatment management these patients due to problems such as nerve injuries and accessibility The patient was admitted our hospital with complaints headache tingling left face for last few months. discussed neurooncology council intervention not ...
