The repair of peripheral nerve injuries is still one of the most challenging tasks and concerns in neurosurgery. Effect of methylprednisolone-laden hydrogel loaded into a chitosan conduit on the functional recovery of peripheral nerve using a rat sciatic nerve regeneration model was assessed. A 10-mm sciatic nerve defect was bridged using a chitosan conduit (CHIT/CGP-Hydrogel) filled with CGP-h...

OBJECTIVES The nature of vascular trauma varies greatly between continents and across time. The aim of this study was to prospectively analyse the demographics, pathology, management and clinical outcomes of vascular injuries in two urban Malaysian hospitals and review of international literature on vascular trauma. From this information, preliminary management and preventive implications will ...

Abstract The facial nerve is the main motor that activates mimic musculature of face. Nerve tree injuries lead to paralysis same half In addition functional damage in form difficulty chewing, speaking and closing eyes, paresis cause pronounced emotional social problems patients. etiology diverse, including trauma, neurological, infectious, metabolic, vascular, neoplastic processes, as well idio...

Hemangiomas of the median nerve are extremely rare; only 12 cases have been reported in the literature. We discuss a patient who presented with paresthesia and pain along the distribution of the left median nerve secondary to a cavernoma of the proximal part of the nerve as suspected on MRI scan. Total removal of the mass was achieved with immediate relief of the symptoms and no neurologic defi...

anatomical vascular variations are rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. an aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. this article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radial...

neurobrucellosis is a rare complication of brucellosis. several clinical forms of brucellosis affecting the cns have been reported, including meningitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, radiculoneuritis, cranial nerve involvement, and demyelinating or vascular disease. in this case report we introduce a 2.5 years old girl with unilateral abdocens nerve palsy.

objectives: measuring outcomes of intervention is one of the most important components of occupational therapy process. the disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand (dash) questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to measure outcomes of the occupational therapy services in the area of hand therapy. the study aims to measure outcomes from interventions of hand therapy in patients with the c...
