Ulnar Nerve Entrapment by Whitney Lowe Pathology Treatment Massage Techniques Assessment and evaluation The symptoms of ulnar nerve compression in the two syndromes are similar even though the pathologies occur in different locations. Clients usually report pain, numbness and/or paresthesia in the ulnar nerve distribution of the hand (see hand illustration). It is important to isolate the sensory symptoms to the ulnar nerve distribution because many people assume they have carpal tunnel syndrome with neurological symptoms in the hand. Weakness in muscles supplied by the ulnar nerve may also occur in both conditions. While the ulnar nerve innervates a number of muscles in the forearm, motor weakness is most evident in muscles of the hand, such as the adductor pollices. It is an important muscle in grasping objects. Consequently, the client may report difficulty in holding objects in the hand, or clumsiness when performing precision activities such as writing. While many symptoms of these two peripheral neuropathies are similar, there are a number of factors that help distinguish them in the evaluation process. If the symptoms started from an acute injury, identify whether the primary insult was to the elbow or the wrist. In chronic compression pathologies it is a little more complex, but a more thorough assessment provides valuable clues. There are two special orthopedic tests commonly used to help identify ulnar nerve compression. The first is the elbow-flexion test. It is primarily used to identify cubital tunnel syndrome.

Pain and Causes Of Pain No summary available Home Index Pain What is nerve entrapment syndrome? Answers (100%, 2 ratings) submitted by jenniferprofitt A+ , 98%, 436 ratings), Jul 19, 05 (Answer last edited on Jul 20, 05) Symptoms: Pain or numbness involving the area between the legs, including the genitals and occasionally some of the inside of the thigh. Often only one side is affected. The pain may be aggravated by sitting. Diagnosis: The diagnosis is based on matching the affected area to the areas supplied by the Pudendal nerve. MR Neurography imaging can identify entrapments. Injections can confirm the diagnosis and can help. What causes the problem? There are four common sites of nerve entrapment that can cause a pudendal nerve syndrome. The nerve may be entrapped as it: 1) passes under the piriformis muscle 2) crosses the sacrospinous ligament and dives under the sacrotuberous ligament 3) travels across the obturator foramen within the Alcox canal 4) upon exit from Alcox canal and branching in the perineal area (between the legs) Another cause is entrapment or irritation of the Impar ganglion on the internal surface of the coccyx.

NERVE ENTRAPMENT SYNDROMES Dr WY Ip Associate Professor Nerve entrapment syndromes are compression neuropathies at specific sites in the limb. These sites are narrow anatomic passages where nerves are situated. The nerves are particularly prone to extrinic or intrinic pressure. Common entrapment neuropathies are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Median Nerve Pronator teres syndrome Anterior interosseous syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome nerve Ulnar Nerve Cubital tunnel syndrome Radial Nerve Axilla Spiral groove Radial tunnel syndrome Posterior interosseous nerve Sciatic Nerve Sciatic notch Hip Peroneal Nerve Fibular neck Anterior compartment Posterior Tibial Nerve Tarsal tunnel syndrome (at medial malleolus) The most common nerve entrapment syndrome in the body is carpal tunnel syndrome. The Carpal Tunnel The floor is formed by the carpal bones which are concave in its flexor surface. This bony gutter is converted into a tunnel by the flexor retinacular on the volar aspect. Fig 1 Fig 2 The Median Nerve Clinical features of carpal tunnel syndrome 1. Usually affects women, commonly bilaterally and the dominant hand is often affected first and more severely.

66. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome By Drdoc On-line Carpal tunnel is due to a compression of the median nerve as it crosses the wrist and Treat the cause ie- repetitive stress syndromes / hypothyroidism http://www.arthritis.co.za/carpalt.html

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by drdoc on-line Carpal tunnel is due to a compression of the median nerve as it crosses the wrist and enters the hand. At that point there is a fibrous band (flexor retinaculum ) which is non elastile and wrist swelling results in median nerve compression against the band. It is frequently seen in females and is often worse in the morning on waking up. Other occupational causes are described including computer mouse / typing . Some diseases may present with it - especially hypothyroidism and Rheumatoid arthritis. It may be seen post pregnancy. It is characterized by numbness / tingling / weakness in the fingers. Usually the first three fingers are affected the most , but the whole hand can be affected. It can occur bilaterally. It is worse in the morning and may be relieved by shaking the wrists. The problem can be confirmed by a nerve conduction study - which a neurologist would do. The therapy is : Treat the cause -ie- repetitive stress syndromes / hypothyroidism / Rheumatoid etc.. A wrist splint may be of benefit. I use the futuro wrist splint.

This compression injures the nerve, resulting in a short circuit of nerve impulses. Depending on the nerve affected, facial pain (trigeminal neuralgia), involuntary facial movement (hemifacial spasm), or deep ear or throat pain (glossopharyngeal neuralgia) may occur. Facial pain is the most common symptom.

74. Microvascular Compression Syndrome In microvascular compression syndrome (MCS), vertigo and motion intolerance is Vascular compression of the eighth cranial nerve as a cause of vertigo. http://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/unilat/microvascular.htm

Microvascular compression syndrome Timothy C. Hain, MD Please read our Return to Index Search this site Page last modified: September 19, 2003 In microvascular compression syndrome (MCS), vertigo and motion intolerance is attributed to irritation of the vestibular portion of the 8th cranial nerve by a blood vessel. It is a controversial syndrome at present. The existence of MCS is inferred by analogy to the syndrome of hemifacial spasm, in which it is well accepted that the usual cause is a aberrant blood vessel. Dr. Peter Jannetta, a neurosurgeon in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, together with Drs Aage Moller and Margarita Moller, pioneered the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Although hemifacial spasm is now presently well accepted to be related to vascular compression, the numerous other syndromes proposed by Janetta and associates to be related to vascular compression (e.g. trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and even essential hypertension) are not as well accepted as being a consequence of vascular compression. In 1984, Janetta, MB Moller and AR Moller described "Disabling positional vertigo", characterized by a history of vertigo, a small midfrequency notch on
