DIFFICULTIES IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY OF MEDIAN NERVE TUNNEL NEUROPATHY
Abstract
Diseases of the peripheral nervous system are a socially significant problem today. Tunnel neuropathies are lesions of the peripheral nervous system, they are very common. They account for up to 50% of all peripheral nerve diseases and occupy the 2nd place in the structure of all disability. Tunnel syndrome is commonly understood as a complex of sensitive, motor and trophic disorders caused by compression, nerve infringement in narrow anatomical spaces (anatomical tunnels). The walls of the tunnel are natural anatomical structures (bones, tendons, muscles), normally peripheral nerves and vessels freely pass through the tunnel.
Keywords
