Left Humerus

We report an uncommon case of intermittent axillary nerve palsy caused by a humeral exostosis in an 11-year-old boy. After excision of the cartilagenous exostosis of the proximal end of the left humerus, the pre-operative symptoms of axillary nerve compression were alleviated.

We report on three patients with radial nerve compression in the region of the supinator muscle caused by an occult ganglion. After excision of the ganglion and decompression of the posterior interosseous nerve, the nerve palsy resolved completely in all cases.

Pneumocephalus is a common occurrence after cranial surgery, with patients typically remaining asymptomatic from a moderate amount of intracranial air. Postsurgical pneumocephalus rarely causes focal neurological deficits; furthermore, cranial neuropathy from postsurgical pneumocephalus is exceedingly uncommon. Only 3 cases have been previously reported that describe direct cranial nerve compression from intracranial air resulting in an isolated single cranial nerve deficit. The authors present a patient who developed dysconjugate eye movements from bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy. Direct cranial nerve compression occurred as a result of postoperative pneumocephalus in the interpeduncular cistern. The isolated cranial neuropathy gradually recovered as the intracranial air was reabsorbed.

Uncommon Case

Peroneal nerve palsy is an infrequent but potential complication of childbirth. Bilateral peroneal palsy is particularly rare following delivery with few reported cases. A 38-year-old gravida 1, para 0 underwent a prolonged second stage of labor, was diagnosed with an arrest of descent, and subsequently underwent an uncomplicated primary cesarean section. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral peroneal neuropathy four days after delivery. By two months postpartum, her foot drop had improved by 85% and the remainder of her symptoms resolved. Awareness of the risks of a peroneal neuropathy as well as implementation of preventive measures is important for members of the delivery team. Regional anesthesia during labor is a risk factor for the development of a peroneal neuropathy.

Acute painful pupil-involving third nerve palsy requires urgent investigation because it can be due to third nerve compression by a rapidly enlarging aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the clinical features of third nerve palsy. We next review the common causes of isolated third nerve palsy, which include microvascular ischemia, trauma, compression by neoplasm, and compression by aneurysm. We then discuss the workup of third nerve palsy and review the vascular imaging options to evaluate for aneurysm. Lastly, we discuss the management approach for third nerve palsy due to aneurysmal compression and microvascular ischemia.
