Following left brachial plexus avulsion, a 20-year-old man had phantom limb pain and remapping of sensation from his paralyzed hand onto his face. Mirror therapy (15 min daily, 5 days/week) led immediately to good movement of the phantom limb with decreased pain. Within 2 weeks following nerve graft surgery, remapping of hand sensation onto the face disappeared along with resolution of phantom ...

a 28-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1(nf1) presented with a tumor in the sciatic nerve and femoral nerve. the differential diagnosis of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor was based on clinical, radiological, and histological evidence. the tumor apparently originated in sciatic nerve at the posterior aspect of the left thigh. the lesion was resected totally without neural damage t...

neurolymphomatosis is a rare manifestation of non-hodgkin lymphoma characterized by infiltration of peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexus and cranial nerves by malignant lymphocytes. this report presents positron emission tomography/computed tomography (pet/ct)imaging with 2-deoxy-2-18f-fluoro-d-glucose (18f-fdg) in 3 cases of non-hodgkin lymphoma with nerve infiltration, including one newly d...

Diaphragmatic palsy due to intraoperative injury of the phrenic nerve leads severe ventilation disorders, a decrease in quality life, leveling effect main operation. According foreign authors, reconstruction is an optimal alternative diaphragm plication acute injuries nerve. This case describes first successful experience our country with intercostal graft patient locally advanced stage IIIB th...

granules in spinal cord axons regenerating into an ascending peripheral nerve graft in a rendered xyz scan. The green channel shows axons expressing neurofilament and SCG10, the orange channel shows Importin 1 mRNA in axons, the red channel shows non-neuronal Importin 1 mRNA, and the blue channel shows Schwann cell nuclei. For more information, see the article by Kalinski et al. (pages 10357–10...

Clinical evidence suggests that nano- and microtopography incorporated into scaffolds does not merely improve peripheral nerve regeneration, but is in fact a prerequisite for meaningful restoration of nerve function. Although the biological mechanisms involved are not fully understood, grafts incorporating physical guides that mimic microscopic nerve tissue features (e.g., basal laminae) appear...

introduction epithelial rejection typically begins in a linear pattern from the periphery of the graft and progresses centripetally. here in, we reported a patient with a new presentation of corneal epithelial graft rejection. case presentation a 23-year-old man presented with blurred vision two months after penetrating keratoplasty. conclusions slit lamp examination revealed sharply demarcated...

We compared the effects of FK506 administration on regeneration and reinnervation after sciatic nerve resection and repair with an autologous graft or with a silicone tube leaving a 6-mm gap in the mouse. Functional reinnervation was assessed by noninvasive methods to determine recovery of motor, sensory, and sweating functions in the hindpaw over 4 months after operation. Morphometric analysis...
