Musculoskeletal mimics of cervical radiculopathy.

Authors:

Muscle Nerve 2022 07 24;66(1):6-14. Epub 2022 Apr 24.

Musculoskeletal mimics of cervical radiculopathy will be explored in this AANEM monograph. A review of the literature and textbooks was conducted. Musculoskeletal cervical radiculopathy mimics include: (1) head/neck pain, such as neck tension, cervicogenic headache, and temporomandibular disorder; (2) referred pain from shoulder pathology, such as rotator cuff tears/impingement; (3) elbow region abnormalities, including medial/lateral epicondylitis; (4) wrist/hand conditions, such as DeQuervain's tenosynovitis and intersection syndrome; (5) muscle connective tissue disorders, including myofascial trigger points; (6) conditions that have decreased range of motion, including frozen shoulder and rounded shoulders with tight pectoral/scalene muscles; (7) conditions with joint hyperlaxity and instability, as seen in post-stroke shoulder subluxation; (8) vascular conditions, such as thoracic outlet syndrome; and (9) autonomic controlled soft tissue changes associated with complex regional pain syndrome. Formulating a differential diagnosis and recognizing mimics of cervical radiculopathy can decrease the time between symptom onset and diagnosis/treatment plan.

Dysphagia as a Postoperative Complication of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion.

Authors:
Georgios Tsalimas Dimitrios Stergios Evangelopoulos Ioannis S Benetos Spiros Pneumaticos

Cureus 2022 Jul 15;14(7):e26888. Epub 2022 Jul 15.

Orthopaedics, KAT General Hospital Of Athens, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, GRC.

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), despite its possible complications, remains the gold standard for the surgical treatment of patients with radiculopathy and/or myelopathy caused by cervical intervertebral disc herniation or spondylosis. Despite its high rate of incidence, postoperative dysphagia following ACDF is still poorly understood; its pathogenesis remains relatively unknown, and its risk factors are still a subject of debate. The aim of this study is to review the incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and methods of prevention of dysphagia in ACDF patients. Read More

Extensive Symptomatic Thoracolumbar Epidural Lipomatosis Treated With Minimally Invasive Hemilaminectomies: Technical Case Report.

Authors:
Angelica M Fuentes Steven B Housley Robert V Starling Jeffrey P Mullin

Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown) 2022 Sep 14;23(3):e184-e188. Epub 2022 Jun 14.

Department of Neurosurgery, Buffalo General Medical Center, Kaleida Health, Buffalo, New York, USA.

Background And Importance: Spinal epidural lipomatosis is a rare condition commonly associated with chronic corticosteroid use and obesity that involves deposition of adipose tissue in the epidural space of the spinal canal. This accumulation of adipose tissue may cause compression of the spinal cord and/or nerve roots and result in compressive symptoms such as myelopathy or radiculopathy. Spinal involvement is usually confined to either the thoracic or lumbar spine but can infrequently affect both regions. Read More

Clinical and imaging features of spinal extradural arachnoid cysts: a retrospective study of 50 cases.

Ahmed K Ahmed Bhrugun Anisetti Thien Huynh Amit Agarwal Vivek Gupta Amit Desai Rahul Singh Prasanna Vibhute

Neuroradiology 2022 Aug 16. Epub 2022 Aug 16.

Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, FL, Jacksonville, USA.

Purpose: Spinal extradural arachnoid cysts (SEDACs) are thought to arise from leakage of CSF through a spinal dural defect. This study investigates the demographics and imaging spectrum of SEDACs at our academic institution and compares them with those reported in the literature.

Methods: Fifty cases with documented MRI diagnosis of SEDAC, Nabors criteria type I meningeal cyst (MC), were identified from retrospective review of imaging records between 1999 and 2020. Read More

Diabetic Mononeuropathies and Diabetic Amyotrophy.

David S H Bell

Diabetes Ther 2022 Aug 15. Epub 2022 Aug 15.

Southside Endocrinology, 1900 Crestwood Blvd, Suite 201, Irondale, AL, 35210, USA.

This brief review describes the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, therapy and prognosis of the diabetic mononeuropathies and diabetic amyotrophy and neuropathic cachexia. Mononeuropathies include cranial neuropathies, of which the oculomotor nerve is most commonly affected, and are thought to be due to microvascular occlusion. Peripherally, entrapment neuropathies occur in both the upper and lower limbs and are due to compression of an already damaged nerve in anatomically restricted channels. Read More

Uterine fibroids are common, especially among women of African descent. Several women with fibroids are asymptomatic, which may contribute to underestimating its prevalence. Symptomatic uterine fibroids present with menstrual problems, anemia, infertility, miscarriages, an enlarged abdomen, pressure symptoms involving the bladder and bowels (such as frequent urination or constipation), and sometimes coital-related problems.
