lipomatosis of the nerve, also known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma, is characterized by the infiltration of the nerve by fibro-fatty tissue. the affected nerve becomes thicker, and it simulates a mass lesion. lipomatosis usually affects the median nerve and lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the key to diagnosis, and it is usually pathognomoni...

background and objective: approximately 45% of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (pnst) occur in head and neck regions. malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (mpnst) are less common and only 8-15% of these tumors occur in head and neck region. in this study, we aimed at evaluating the demographic characteristics, pathologic findings, locations, main clinical presentations and family hist...

background: axotomy causes sensory neuronal loss. reconnection of proximal and distal nerve ends by surgical repair improves neuronal survival. it is important to know the morphology of primary sensory neurons after the surgical repair of their peripheral processes. methods: animals (male wistar rats) were exposed to models of sciatic nerve transection, direct epineurial suture repair of sciati...

Objective- Adipose tissue is an appropriate source for isolation of cells with stem-cell–like properties.  In the present long-term study, the effects of the omental adipose-derived nucleated cells (OADNCs) fraction were compared to those of the undifferentiated cultured bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) on sciatic nerve regeneration. Design- Experimental in vivo study. Animals- Fift...

Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...

Objective: The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of oral administration of gallic acid (GA) for 21 days alone and in combination with exercise on nerve conduction velocity and sensory and motor functions in rats with sciatic nerve crush. Materials and Methods: Seventy adult male Wistar rats (250-300 g) were divided randomly into 7 groups with 10 in each: 1) Control (Cont), 2) Cru...

objective: to assess the neuroprotective effects of local administration of 17- beta- estradiol on nerve regeneration. methods: sixty female wistar rats were overiectomized and divided into four experimental groups (n = 15), randomly: in autograft group a segment of sciatic nerve was transected and re-implanted reversely. in sham-surgery group sciatic nerve was exposed and manipulated. in trans...

objective: to assess the effect of combination of pulsed electromagnetic fields (pemf) with predatory stress on transected sciatic nerve regeneration in rats.  methods: in sham- operated group (sog) the nerve was manipulated and left intact. the 10-mm rat sciatic nerve gap was created in rats. in transected group (transected) nerve stumps were sutured to adjacent muscle and in vein graft group ...
