A neuroma (/ nj ʊəˈr oʊ m ə /; plural: neuromata or neuromas) is a growth or tumor of nerve tissue. [1] Neuromas tend to be benign (i.e. not cancerous ); many nerve tumors , including those that are commonly malignant , are nowadays referred to by other terms.
A seroma is usually caused by surgery. Seromas are particularly common after breast surgery [3] (e.g., mastectomy), [4] abdominal surgery, and reconstructive surgery. It can also be seen after neck surgery, [1] thyroid and parathyroid surgery, [5] and hernia repair. [2] The larger the surgical intervention, the more likely that seromas form.
A traumatic neuroma is a type of neuroma which results from trauma to a nerve, usually during a surgical procedure. The most common oral locations are on the tongue and near the mental foramen of the mouth . [ 2 ]
The Acoustic Neuroma Association recommends that cell phone users use a hands-free device. Meningiomas are significantly more common in women than in men; they are most common in middle-aged women. Two predisposing factors associated with meningiomas for which at least some evidence exists are exposure to ionizing radiation (cancer treatment of ...
Cerebral edema is the cause of death in 5% of all patients with cerebral infarction and mortality after large ischemic strokes with cerebral edema is roughly 20 to 30% despite medical and surgical interventions. [9] [38] Cerebral edema usually occurs between the second and fifth day after onset of symptoms. [9]
Sensory loss, scarring and neuroma formation can cause morbidity to the donor site of the patient the nerve is harvested from. Therefore, alloplastic nerve graft research is being conducted for nerve repair. Silicone has been used previously, but long-term use of tubes produces compression and decreased conduction, requiring surgery to remove ...
The surgery lasted nine hours, and when they woke him up to take out the ventilator, he couldn’t figure out where he was or what was going on. They had to put him back under and try again later.
Although the pathophysiology of CSWS is not fully understood, it is usually caused by neurological injury, most commonly aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. [5] It is also reported after surgery for pituitary tumor, acoustic neuroma, calvarial remodeling, glioma and with infections including tuberculous meningitis, viral meningitis, metastatic carcinoma, and cranial trauma.
