  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. Pathophysiology of nerve entrapment - Wikipedia

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

    Pathophysiology of nerve entrapment. Histological comparison of a normal nerve and an atrophied nerve using a cross-slice of the sciatic nerve. Left is a normal 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]

  4. Nerve decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_decompression

    The symptoms of nerve injury in the early 1900s were called nerve palsy (today neuropathy or neuritis are more common terms). [50] The concept of injuries causing nerve palsy was understood at that time. [49] For example, wrist fractures were known to be a cause of nerve palsy through compression, and this could be treated by liberating the nerve.

  5. Nerve injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_injury

    Nerve compression in neurapraxia. Neurapraxia is the least severe form of nerve injury, with complete recovery. In this case, the axon remains intact, but there is myelin damage causing an interruption in conduction of the impulse down the nerve fiber. Most commonly, this involves compression of the nerve or disruption to the blood supply ...

  6. Spinal cord compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_compression

    Spinal cord compression is a form of myelopathy in which the spinal cord is compressed. Causes can be bone fragments from a vertebral fracture, a tumor, abscess, ruptured intervertebral disc or other lesion. When acute it can cause a medical emergency independent of its cause, and require swift diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term ...

  7. Thoracic outlet syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_outlet_syndrome

    Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a condition in which there is compression of the nerves, arteries, or veins in the superior thoracic aperture, the passageway from the lower neck to the armpit, also known as the thoracic outlet. [ 1 ] There are three main types: neurogenic, venous, and arterial. [ 1 ] The neurogenic type is the most common and ...

  8. Cheiralgia paresthetica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheiralgia_paresthetica

    Cheiralgia paraesthetica (Wartenberg's syndrome) is a neuropathy of the hand generally caused by compression or trauma to the superficial branch of the radial nerve. [1] [2] The area affected is typically on the back or side of the hand at the base of the thumb, near the anatomical snuffbox, but may extend up the back of the thumb and index finger and across the back of the hand.

  9. Carpal tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_tunnel_syndrome

    Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a nerve compression syndrome associated with the collected signs and symptoms of compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an idiopathic syndrome but there are environmental, and medical risk factors associated with the condition. [6][1] CTS can affect both wrists.
