upper trunk, lateral cord, painless

32
Q

neoplastic brachial plexopathy

A

breast, lung cancer

-medial cord, painful

33
Q

median nerve sites of compression and clinical features

A

1) wrist (carpal tunnel)- sensory loss and thenar atrophy
2) anterior interosseous (abnormal pinch sign, normal sensation, nerve conduction study normal)

3) elbow (pronator teres syndrome) tenderness of pronator teres, sensory loss

34
Q

ulnar nerve entrapment sites and clinical feture

A

1) elbow btwn medial epicondyle and olecranon
2) cubital tunnel syndrome (btwn tendinous arch of FCU) = claw of 4th and 5th finger

2) wrist-guyon’s canal- hypothenar atrophy, variable sensory loss

35
Q

radial nerve entrapmetnt site and clinical feature

A

1) axilla (crutch palsy) wrist drop, tricep involved, sensory loss
2) spiral groove, wrist drop “saturday night palsy”
3) supinator- posterior interosseous, paresis of finger extensors, radial wrist deviation
4) wrist- superficial sensory branch- paresthesias in dorsum of hand (handcuff palsy)

36
Q

median mononeuropathy trapped btwn what

A

2 heads of palmaris longus muscle

or ligament of struthers

37
Q

needle EMG in anterior interosseous syndrome

A

abnormalities in FPL, FDP, PQ

38
Q

ulnar mononeuropathy: EMG may show abnormalities in what

A
1st dorsal interosseous
abductor digiti minimi
adductor policis
flexor carpi ulnaris
flexor digitorum profundus
39
Q

froemnt sign when you must flex at at phalangeal joint to grip something

A

ulnar neuropathy

40
Q

spiral groove saturday night palsy (radial nerve)

A

weakness of wrist and finger extension

may have sensory loss dorsal thumb web

41
Q

L5 vs peroneal nerve entrapment

A

someone with footdrop

L5 does inversion and peroneal does not so if can still invert foot then peroneal nerve

42
Q

sciatic nerve roots and site compression

A
L4-S2
sciatic notch
hip
piriformis m
popliteal fossa
43
Q

peroneal mononeuropathy at fibular head

where does the amplitute and CV drop and by how much

A

above the knee by 50% or so

44
Q

needle EMG for peroneal mononeuroptahy at fibular head: what is the abnormality in

A

tibialis ant, EHL, EDB

45
Q

clinical features of peroneal mononeuropathy at fibular head

A

weakness of foot dorsiflexion and eversion
weakness of toe extension
sensory loss dorsum of foot

46
Q

symmetric, motor, sensory, autonomic, or combo loss

progressive

A

peripheral neuropathy

47
Q

autonomic involvement periopheral neuropathy

A

pupillary irregularities, sweating abnormalities, impotence, hypo/hypertension

48
Q

stocking glove distribution

A

peripheral neuropathy

49
Q

etiology of peripheral neurpathy

A

treatment for GBS

A

supportive

direct treatment with plasma exchange or IVIg
