[Distal nerve compression of the leg. Clinical and electrophysiologic study].
Rare distal compressions of lower limb nerves include tarsal tunnel syndrome, entrapment of the first branch of the lateral plantar and medial calcaneal nerves, interdigital neuroma, compression of the deep peroneal nerve on the dorsum of the foot, entrapment of the superficial peroneal and sural nerves. Nerve conduction and electromyographic studies are essential to evaluate these peripheral nerve injuries in order to differentiate focal lower extremity nerve entrapments from ischemic mononeuropathies, lumbar radiculopathies or plexopathies, and generalized peripheral neuropathies. This review summarizes the clinical and electrophysiological findings for each of these rare entrapment syndromes and provides the necessary clues to obtain a correct differential diagnosis with other more common causes of foot and ankle pain and paresthesias.

Entrapment neuropathy caused by tophaceous gout.
Entrapment neuropathy associated with gout is a rare occurrence. We report two cases of entrapment neuropathy of ulnar tunnel syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome caused by gouty tophi. Problems related to its mechanism and treatment are discussed.

Controversies in nerve entrapment syndromes in the forearm and wrist.
The five tunnels of the forearm and wrist, where nerve entrapment most frequently occurs, have been analyzed for diagnosis, treatment, anatomic variations, and prognosis. The value of a positive EMG report is to reinforce a clinical impression. If negative, it does not exclude the entrapment syndrome. When the diagnosis is accurate, the timing of surgery precise, and the surgical technique meticulous, the results from nerve entrapment surgery can be the most rewarding of all upper extremity surgery.
Entrapment neuropathies of the upper extremity.
Entrapment neuropathies occur in a number of different but predictable locations in the upper extremity. These neuropathies can produce a spectrum of sensory and motor deficits in the hand and upper extremity. A careful clinical examination in conjunction with electromyography and nerve conduction velocity studies can usually delineate peripheral nerve dysfunction. Prognosis depends on the degree of nerve injury, which is related to both the cause and the duration of the entrapment.
[Guillain-Barré syndrome as differential diagnosis of intervertebral disk-induced nerve root compression].
INTRODUCTION: Diagnosis of Guillian-Barré Syndrome usually is not difficult, but diagnostic failure occurs for the variable initial presentation. Diagnosis is based on physical examination showing loss of motor strength in more than one limb and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Ventilatory assistance, pharmacologic maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis, corticosteroids, IgG and plasma exchange are the dominant therapeutic measures. CASE: This article reports on a case of a 59-year old surgeon suffering from degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine. The patient developed a severe course of the Guillian-Barré Syndrome with persisting motor weakness of the legs. CONCLUSION: If the primary problem at presentation is limb and back pain the pathology appears to be in the musculoskeletal rather than in neurological system. The awareness of this presentation of Guillian-Barré-Syndrome will eliminate delay in diagnosis.
