Focal Peripheral Neuropathies Imaging, Neurological, and Neurosurgical Approaches
Step-by-step illustrations of every relevant surgical procedure for peripheral nerve lesionsFirst manual exclusively comprising hand-drawn optimized illustrations Invaluable as a guide in the operating theaterPreviously unpublished list of differential diagnoses between operable and inoperable neuropathiesEvery neurosurgeon as well as many surgeons in other disciplines, including plastic and orthopedic surgeons, may unexpectedly be confronted with an entrapment syndrome or a nerve trauma. With a view to preventing costly transfers to expert clinics, this manual for practitioners offers optimized step-by-step figures illustrating how best to approach every relevant nerve lesion. Clear advice is also provided on differential diagnosis from inflammatory neuropathies, which will assist in avoiding false indications for surgery. This is a true manual for practitioners that offers excellent guidance for all surgeons while in the operating theater.Table of ContentsIntroductionPrinciples of Macroscopic and Microscopic Anatomy of Peripheral NervesPathophysiologyDegrees of Nerve LesionTypes of Tissue Reaction Following Nerve LesionClinical Presentation of Nerve LesionDifferent Types of Pain Following Nerve LesionPrinciples of Neurophysiologic DiagnosisElectroneurographyElectromyographyImaging of Peripheral NervesSonographyMagnetic Resonance ImagingPrinciples of Nerve SurgeryNeurolysis StepsGrafting Following Nerve TraumaNerve Entrapment at Shoulder and ArmSpinal Accessory NerveBrachial Plexus, Thoracic Outlet SyndromeSuprascapular NerveAxillary (Circumflex) NerveRadial Nerve at Upper ArmRadial Nerve at Lower ArmPosterior Interosseous Nerve EntrapmentSuperficial Radial Nerve EntrapmentMedian Nerve at ElbowMedian Nerve at Lower ArmAnterior Interosseous Nerve EntrapmentCarpal Tunnel SyndromeUlnar Nerve at ElbowUlnar Nerve at Lower ArmGuyon’s Loge SyndromeDeep Ulnar Branch EntrapmentNerve Entrapment at Trunk and LegGenitofemoral, Ilioinguinal, Iliohypogastric NerveFemoral Cutaneous NerveObturator NerveSaphenous NerveInfrapatellar Branch of Saphenous NervePudendal NerveSciatic Nerve, Piriformis SyndromeFibular Nerve at Knee JointFibular Nerve at Ankle, Anterior Tarsal Tunnel SyndromeTibial NerveTibial Nerve at Ankle, Posterior Tarsal Tunnel SyndromeTibial Nerve at Sole, Morton’s MetatarsalgiaNon Mechanical Focal NeuropathiesParsonage Turner SyndromeMultifocal Motorical NeuropathyHereditary Multifocal NeuropathyLewis-Summer-Syndrome (CIDP)Immune Vasculitis with Focal Neuropathy
