Myelopathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral entrapment by David H. Durrant

By David H. Durrant

Richly illustrated and simple to exploit, Myelopathy, Radiculopathy, and Peripheral Entrapment Syndromes provides large and updated information regarding the etiopathic and scientific presentation of neurovascular compression insult to the spinal wire, spinal nerve roots, and peripheral nerves. Written with either the coed and practitioner in brain, the publication covers myelopathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral entrapment syndromes in separate sections, making the knowledge effortless to discover.

Each part includes:

  • Introduction
  • Relevant nearby anatomy
  • Pathophysiology and mechanism of the injury
  • Clinical indicators and symptoms
  • Electrodiagnostic features
  • Diagnostic imaging
  • Syndromes particular to the extent of compromise

    More than 275 certain, unique illustrations and MRIs let you visualize the techniques. greater than a hundred thirty concise tables disguise the topic-specific highlights. those good points mix to offer the ebook a quick-reference caliber that units it aside. Myelopathy, Radiculopathy, and Peripheral Entrapment Syndromes offers all of the functional details you wish - in a single handy source - to successfully diagnose and reconsider neurological issues of the backbone and extremities from a neurologic perspective.

The dorsal funiculus consists of the fasciculus gracilis, which carries sensory information from the sacral area and lower extremities, and the fasciculus cuneatus, which carries sensory information from the thoracic and cervical region; these are bounded by the dorsal horns of the spinal gray matter.
