Richly illustrated and simple to take advantage of, Myelopathy, Radiculopathy, and Peripheral Entrapment Syndromes offers wide and updated information regarding the etiopathic and scientific presentation of neurovascular compression insult to the spinal twine, spinal nerve roots, and peripheral nerves. Written with either the scholar and practitioner in brain, the e-book covers myelopathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral entrapment syndromes in separate sections, making the data effortless to discover.
Each part includes:
More than 275 designated, unique illustrations and MRIs let you visualize the recommendations. greater than one hundred thirty concise tables disguise the topic-specific highlights. those gains mix to offer the booklet a quick-reference caliber that units it aside. Myelopathy, Radiculopathy, and Peripheral Entrapment Syndromes presents all of the functional info you would like - in a single handy source - to successfully diagnose and think again neurological problems of the backbone and extremities from a neurologic perspective.

First-order axons enter the spinal cord along the dorsolateral tract of Lissauer (lateral root entry zone) at the posterior horn and synapse with second-order neurons. Second-order neurons lie within the deeper layers of the posterior horn and give rise to axons that decussate in the ventral white commissure just anterior to the central spinal canal, converging within the lateral funiculus to form the spinothalamic tract. Secondorder neurons ascend contralaterally within the anterolateral funiculus to synapse within the VPL nucleus of the thalamus and within the posterior interlaminar nuclei of the thalamus.
