Objective: To explore the effects of upper and lower spinal nerve roots anastomosis on prevention of the axotomy-induced neurons atrophy and apoptosis of adult rats after spinal cord injury (SCI).
If it bulges out towards the center of the spinal cord, it could compress multiple nerve roots on both sides, or laterally, compressing one nerve root on one side.
Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra slips or becomes displaced, due to a trauma, surgery or degenerative spinal disease, and presses on the nearby nerve roots.
Well, you see, this prolapse was so delicate, I could practically see myself pulling it out of the nerve root canal before she entered the consultation room.
Below the knee, the pain usually follows the dermatome distribution, for example, if the L4 nerve root is compressed, the pain would radiate along side the medial side of the leg.
(Laughter) Then you bring in the microscope, and you carefully remove the disc and the prolapse in the nerve root canal, without damaging the cord and the nerve root lying only millimeters underneath.
Klumpke's Palsy occurs when there's a disruption of the innervation to the muscles of the hand caused by an injury to the nerve roots C8 or T1 or to the lower trunk of the brachial plexus.
