Superior cluneal nerve dysfunction is a clinical diagnosis that can be supported by diagnostic nerve blocks. [1] The superior cluneal nerves were first described by Maigne et al. in 1989 as a source of low back pain. [2]
The superior cluneal nerves, middle cluneal nerves, posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve are all sensory and resection may simply be a more "complete" option, as nerve decompressions can't explore every part of the nerve and may miss some entrapment points. Outcomes for nerve resection is similar to nerve ...
For this reason, a nerve resection may be considered after a failed decompression. Examples of nerves that may be good candidates for resection are lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, [42] zygomaticotemporal branch of the trigeminal nerve, [43] the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, [44] [45] and the middle/superior cluneal nerves. [46]
This is a shortened version of the sixth chapter of the ICD-9: Diseases of the Nervous System and Sense Organs.It covers ICD codes 320 to 389.The full chapter can be found on pages 215 to 258 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9.
Lumboinguinal nerve (green) and Ilioinguinal nerve (purple). In modern texts, these two regions are often considered to be innervated by the genitofemoral nerve. Medial cluneal nerves (pink) - labeled as "post. division of sacral" Inferior cluneal nerves (pink region, not designated with its own section)
In human anatomy, the sacral plexus is a nerve plexus which provides motor and sensory nerves for the posterior thigh, most of the lower leg and foot, and part of the pelvis. It is part of the lumbosacral plexus and emerges from the lumbar vertebrae and sacral vertebrae (L4-S4). [ 1 ]
The cluneal nerves (or clunial nerves) are cutaneous nerves of the buttocks. They are often classified according to where on the buttocks they innervate. Specifically, the nerves are as follows: Superior cluneal nerves; Medial cluneal nerves; Inferior cluneal nerves
Nerve block or regional nerve blockade is any deliberate interruption of signals traveling along a nerve, often for the purpose of pain relief. Local anesthetic nerve block (sometimes referred to as simply "nerve block") is a short-term block, usually lasting hours or days, involving the injection of an anesthetic, a corticosteroid, and other agents onto or near a nerve.
