Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome is a rare congenital condition that rarely affects peripheral nerves. Median nerve involvement at carpal tunnel level has only been reported in a few   occasions in the medial literature. A 61 years old Caucasian female patient with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome presented with a 10 months history of paraesthesiae and numbness affecting the median nerve distribution area...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The hypoglossal-facial-anastomosis is the most often applied procedure for the reanimation of a long lasting peripheral facial nerve paralysis. The use of an interposition graft and its end-to-side anastomosis to the hypoglossal nerve allows the preservation of the tongue function and also requires two anastomosis sites and a free second donor nerve. We describe the modifi...

UNLABELLED Sectioned facial nerves can be repaired with grafting or end-to-end anastomosis. OBJECTIVE To discuss these repair procedures and what can be expected of them. METHOD Seven patients with sectioned facial nerves were included in the study. Four underwent grafting and three were offered end-to-end anastomosis. Facial nerve palsy was iatrogenic in five patients and was caused by bul...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Management of unrecognized recurrent laryngeal nerve injury typically entails delayed phonosurgical intervention and laryngeal reinnervation, but in cases of recognized injury, nerve anastomosis has been considered standard management. However, the well-organized outcome analysis of nerve anastomosis has been insufficient. We performed immediate direct anastomosis of recur...

this study was conducted on 48 specimens of rectus abdominis muscles for recognition and definition of passage and ramification of lower intercostal nerves. the main results of this study are as follows: 1- the seventh and eight intercostal nerves penetrated to posterior layer of the rectus sheath while other intercostal nerves perforated to dorsal layer of internal oblique abdominis aponeurosi...
