Nerve compression syndrome

Under a nerve compression syndrome is a chronic pressure injury to a peripheral nerve. This occurs usually in anatomically prominent locations. Almost all nerve compression syndromes can be surgically treat very successful and lead to a complete recovery of the nerve, if the injury has not lasted too long.

Examples of nerve compression syndromes

• Carpal tunnel syndrome: compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel in the wrist called flexor side (most common nerve compression syndrome)
• Pronator teres syndrome -
• Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome

• Ulnarisrinnen syndrome ( cubital tunnel syndrome, sulcus ulnaris syndrome ): Damage to the ulnar nerve in the elbow at the so-called " funny bone "
• Loge de Guyon syndrome: Damage to the ulnar nerve at the wrist

• Wartenberg syndrome: compression of the superficial branch of the radial nerve at the spoke- side extensor side of the forearm

• Meralgia paresthetica: damage to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in the region of the inguinal ligament

• Rear tarsal tunnel syndrome: compression of the tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel at the medial border of the foot
• Morton's metatarsalgia: compression of a nerve between the toes on the sole
• Piriformis Syndrome

• Piriformis Syndrome

• Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome: compression of the sensitive nerve Endasts deep fibular ridge of the foot

• Probably causes a superior oblique myokymia
