EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of this presentation, the participants should be able to discuss how imaging and intra-operative facial nerve monitoring may be used in the removal of selected intraparotid foreign body without parotidectomy and dissection of the facial nerve. OBJECTIVES 1) To present a rare case of a metallic intraparotid foreign body introduced as a projectile; 2) to...

A case of an older female patient with paralysis of the anterior interosseous nerve is reported. During exploration an accessory muscle slip running from the coronoid process of the ulna towards the flexor pollicis longus (Gantzer's muscle) was found compressing the nerve.

Intraneural lipomas of the peripheral nerve or its cutaneous branches are rare benign tumours. These slow-growing tumours present as asymptomatic swelling, and diagnosis is usually made at the time of exploration. In most cases, these tumours can be enucleated without damage to the nerve fibres.

Yoshida N, Tsuchida Y. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222303 Description A 9-year-old boy presented to the emergency department with severe left elbow pain after a fall from a skateboard. On physical examination, an open injury in his left elbow that exposed the humeral lateral epicondyle was observed (Gustilo grade; figure 1A). The radial pulse was well palpated, but the neurological ...

BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an established treatment for end-stage arthritis, congenital deformity, and trauma with good long-term clinical and functional outcomes. Delayed sciatic nerve injury is a rare complication after THA that requires prompt diagnosis and management. METHODS We present a case of sciatic nerve motor and sensory deficit in a 52-year-old patient 2 years afte...

Common peroneal nerve injury caused by suture entrapment is a complication of arthroscopic inside-out lateral meniscus repair. In the literature, the treatment of this complication has been described as immediate reexploration. We present a case of recovery after late neurolysis performed 7 months postoperatively for a common peroneal nerve neuropraxia. In addition to describing return of funct...

Direct stimulation of 23 median, 13 ulnar and 2 peroneal nerves at the time of surgical exploration has been used to locate, and characterize the conduction abnormalities in the nerves. The most frequent location of the major conduction abnormalities in the median nerve was in the first 1-2 cm distal to the origin of the carpal tunnel. In the ulnar nerve the important conduction abnormalities w...

Delayed sciatic neuropathy due to pelvic reconstruction plate loosening following complex acetabular reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty seems not be have been previously reported. We identified a 79-year-old woman who developed progressive neurologic signs of entrapment 6 months following reconstruction of a pelvic discontinuity due to fracture nonunion caused by radiation necrosis. Magne...

Intraneural perineurioma is a benign tumor that occurs in less than 1% of peripheral nerve tumors; no more than 90 cases have been reported1,2. Tumorous lesions of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) have rarely been described3–5. An 18-year-old woman presented with a longstanding his tory of spontaneous progressive weakness in the PIN dis tribution (Figure 1). Ultrasonography and MRI studie...

Background. Peripheral nerve injury treatment options are limited to primary nerve repair, nerve grafting, and tendon transfers. In this case, a large suitable donor site was easily accessible and delayed grafting was indicative of poor prognosis. Case Description. A 25-year-old soldier presented to a military hospital in Afghanistan following a roadside bomb attack. The patient had a medial sh...
