Examples include space-occupying masses, localized tumors, bony prominences, and a venous plexus within the tarsal canal. (medscape.com)
Artery5
It is formed in the axilla by the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, which arise on opposite sides of the axillary artery and fuse to form the median nerve anterior to the artery (see the image below). (medscape.com)
As the nerve courses to the elbow, it lies close to the brachial artery, crossing it anteriorly to medially. (medscape.com)
[ 9 ] The ligament of Struthers connects the supracondylar process to the medial epicondyle, encasing the median nerve and brachial artery. (medscape.com)
This is likely because the cocktail injection reached this area but did not permeate the brachial artery. (neuroangio.org)
So, after all it was not, in my view, a problem of too small a caliber of radial artery but of brachial spasm in a relatively young patient. (neuroangio.org)
Nerve2
A stinger/burner is usually an athletic injury from traction, compression, or direct trauma to the upper brachial plexus or cervical nerve roots. (aapmr.org)
Stingers/burners typically affect the C5 +/- C6 nerve roots or the upper trunk of the brachial plexus. (aapmr.org)
Compression2
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a multifaceted compression neuropathy that typically manifests with pain and paresthesias that radiate from the medial ankle distally and, occasionally, proximally. (medscape.com)
Injuries that result in foraminal narrowing with mechanical compression of exiting brachial plexus nerves are thought to be the most common and result in more severe symptoms. (aapmr.org)
Severe1
Injection confirmed severe brachial spasm (black arrow at worst spot). (neuroangio.org)
Syndrome1
These findings may have a variety of causes, which can be categorized as extrinsic, intrinsic, or tensioning factors in the development of signs and symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome. (medscape.com)
Injuries1
PIP joint injuries of the hand are common and often challenging injuries that can result in pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness, and even post-traumatic arthritic changes. (handsurgery.org)
Hand1
It courses from the brachial plexus in the axilla to innervate the intrinsic muscles of the hand. (medscape.com)
Ulnar nerve9
Presenting symptoms of ulnar nerve entrapment can range from mild transient paresthesias in the ring and small fingers to clawing of these digits and severe intrinsic muscle atrophy. (medscape.com)
At first, this complaint may be surprising because most physicians, remembering that finger abduction is governed by the ulnar nerve, are probably inclined to assume that a patient who has an ulnar neuropathy would be less, rather than more, likely to have the little finger abducted and thus caught on the edge of the pocket. (medscape.com)
The entrapment of the ulnar nerve is the second most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity (after entrapment of the median nerve). (medscape.com)
The ulnar nerve is the terminal branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus and contains fibers from C8, T1, and, occasionally, C7. (medscape.com)
The ligament of Struthers may occasionally cause neurovascular compression, usually involving the median nerve or the brachial artery but sometimes affecting the ulnar nerve. (medscape.com)
The majority of the intrinsic hand muscles are innervated by the deep branch of the ulnar nerve. (neurologyneeds.com)
Elbow4
Indeed, the elbow is probably the most common site of pain in ulnar neuropathy. (medscape.com)
Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is commonly encountered in clinical practice and is the second most common entrapment neuropathy. (bvsalud.org)
Left untreated, ulnar neuropathy at the elbow can result in significant disability due to loss of dexterity and grip strength secondary to the weakness of intrinsic hand muscles. (bvsalud.org)
Ultrasound is a relatively quick and useful adjunctive diagnostic modality in overcoming this limitation, as an increase in the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the nerve is a common and validated finding in ulnar neuropathies at the elbow. (bvsalud.org)
Weakness2
For example, one traditional sign of ulnar neuropathy, the Wartenberg sign, is a complaint of weakness. (medscape.com)
This discomfort is often accompanied by grip weakness and, rarely, intrinsic wasting. (medscape.com)
Vein2
9, 10] It enters the arm with the axillary artery and passes posterior and medial to the brachial artery, traveling between the brachial artery and the brachial vein. (medscape.com)
Finally, in this patient the precentral vein (C) and its brachial tributaries (D), a.k.a. veins of the superior cerebellar peduncle according to Rhoton, are dominant, and therefore both the anterior pontomesencephalic (E) and lateral mesencephalic (H) veins are hypoplastic. (neuroangio.org)
Nerve2
On the left side, the nerve enters the thorax between the left primitive carotid and the subclavian, and it converges at the deep part of the cardiac plexus. (medscape.com)
Its cardiac branch, the inferior cardiac nerve, descends behind the subclavian artery (here, it converges with the recurrent nerve and with a branch of the medium cervical nerve) and all along the anterior surface of the trachea, finally joining to the deep part of the cardiac plexus. (medscape.com)

The most common inherited neuropathies are a group of disorders collectively referred to as Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. (nysora.com)
