  2. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example). Its symptoms include pain, tingling ...

  3. Nasociliary nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasociliary_nerve

    The nasociliary nerve enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure, [citation needed] through the common tendinous ring, [1] and between the two heads of the lateral rectus muscle and between the superior and inferior rami of the oculomotor nerve. [citation needed] It passes across the optic nerve (CN II) along with the ophthalmic artery.

  4. Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_neuropathy

    Neurology. Symptoms. Shooting pain, numbness, tingling, tremors, bladder problems, unsteadiness. Peripheral neuropathy, often shortened to neuropathy, refers to damage or disease affecting the nerves. [ 1 ] Damage to nerves may impair sensation, movement, gland function, and/or organ function depending on which nerve fibers are affected.

  5. Nerve decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_decompression

    Appearance. hide. A nerve decompression is a neurosurgical procedure to relieve chronic, direct pressure on a nerve to treat nerve entrapment, a pain syndrome characterized by severe chronic pain and muscle weakness. In this way a nerve decompression targets the underlying pathophysiology of the syndrome and is considered a first-line surgical ...

  6. Neurolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurolysis

    Neurolysis is the application of physical or chemical agents to a nerve in order to cause a temporary degeneration of targeted nerve fibers. When the nerve fibers degenerate, it causes an interruption in the transmission of nerve signals. In the medical field, this is most commonly and advantageously used to alleviate pain in cancer patients.

  7. Maxillary nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_nerve

    In neuroanatomy, the maxillary nerve (V 2) is one of the three branches or divisions of the trigeminal nerve, the fifth (CN V) cranial nerve.It comprises the principal functions of sensation from the maxilla, nasal cavity, sinuses, the palate and subsequently that of the mid-face, [1] and is intermediate, both in position and size, between the ophthalmic nerve and the mandibular nerve.

  8. Pathophysiology of nerve entrapment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathophysiology_of_nerve...

    Right is an atrophied nerve. Nerve entrapment involves a cascade of physiological changes caused by compression and tension. Some of these changes are irreversible. [ 1 ] The magnitude and duration of the forces determines the extent of injury. [ 2 ] In the acute form, mechanical injury and metabolic blocks impede nerve function.

  9. Infraorbital nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infraorbital_nerve

    Sensory areas of the head, showing the general distribution of the three divisions of the fifth nerve. (Infraorbital nerve labeled at center left, at the nose.) The infraorbital nerve is a branch of the maxillary nerve (itself a branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V)). [ 1 ] It arises in the pterygopalatine fossa.
