Femoral Neuropathy*

Sciatic neuropathy is a rare complication of gynecologic procedures with lithotomy position. Anesthesiologists should be aware of the possible causes and take extreme care to prevent nerve injuries. We report a case of postoperative sciatic neuropathy after a robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy, despite following recommended guidelines regarding appropriate positioning. Compressive neuropathy following a prolonged operation should be considered.

Total abdominal hystrectomy is the most common surgery of Gynecology. It's complication are taken very important. Although neuropathy, especially femoral nerve injury, is rare, recently we have experienced a case of femoral neuropathy after total abdominal hystrectomy. We present this case with a brief review of literature.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of modified Stoppa approach in acetabular fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients who underwent surgery using the modified Stoppa approach for acetabular fractures were enrolled. There were 10 cases of isolated acetabular fracture, two cases of acetabular fracture combined with pelvic ring injury. There were two cases of anterior column fracture, nine cases of both column fracture, and one case of T-type fracture according to Letournel classification. The clinical outcomes were evaluated from Harris hip score (HHS) at postoperative one year and complications. The radiologic result was evaluated according to Matta criteria; anatomical, imperfect, and poor. RESULTS: According to the radiological results, there were eight cases of anatomical, three cases of imperfect, and one case of poor reduction. The average HHS was 82.5 and 10 patients had excellent or good results. The other two patients had poor results due to lumbosacral plexopathy and poor reduction, respectively. The complication included one case of incomplete sciatic nerve palsy, which was recovered at postoperative three months. CONCLUSION: Internal fixation of acetabular fractures using the modified Stoppa approach had satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes. The modified Stoppa approach can be a useful option for acetabular fractures with appropriate indication and anatomical information.

Diabetic polyneuropathy affects millions of people with diabetes. Although, the symptoms may be highly unpleasant, management have concentrated mainly on the disease process and other more visible or devastating secondary complications like diabetic ulcers and cardiac arrhythmia. Glycemic control remains the most important aspect in the management of diabetes that can deter or decelerate subsequent development of diabetic polyneuropathy. However, concentration on this aspect alone veers away from control of symptoms that may improve quality of life of patients.

Objectives: To determine the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) in eyes with ethambutol-induced toxic optic neuropathy (ETON) at the time of diagnosis and to describe the visual outcomes at 1, 3, and 6 months after discontinuation of ethambutol Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of 8 patients (15 eyes) diagnosed with ETON that had RNFL thickness measurements using Cirrus® spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the time of diagnosis. Visual function was measured on initial visit and at 1, 3, and 6-month follow-up. Snellen visual acuity was converted to logMAR. Color vision was measured using Ishihara 14-plate test chart. Results: The mean duration from commencement of ethambutol intake to onset of visual symptoms was 16 weeks (range: 8-24). While, the mean duration from onset of visual symptoms to discontinuation of ethambutol was 4 weeks (range: 2-14). The mean global RNFL thickness at time of diagnosis was 101.2 ± 17.0 microns. Mean RNFL in the temporal, superior, nasal, and inferior sectors were as follows: 79.2 ± 15.4, 119.7 ± 27.9, 71.7 ± 9.2, and 136.7 ± 25.8 microns. Global and sectoral RNFL thicknesses were either normal or thick when compared to age-matched normal database. No eye displayed global or sectoral RNFL thinning. Mean baseline visual acuity and color vision were logMAR 1.2 and 5 plates, respectively. At 1, 3, and 6 months after discontinuation of ethambutol, mean visual acuity and color vision were 0.96 and 6, 0.63 and 11, and 0.44 and 13, respectively. Conclusion Patients with early ETON have normal or thick RNFL at time of diagnosis. They display good visual recovery 6 months following discontinuation of ethambutol.

High-quality clinical evidence, derived from well-designed and implemented clinical trials, serves to advance clinical care and to allow physicians to provide the most effective treatments to their patients. The field of ophthalmology, including the subspecialty of neuro-ophthalmology, abounds with such high-quality clinical trials that provide Level 1 clinical evidence. This review article summarizes the research design, key findings, and clinical relevance of select monumental clinical studies in neuro-ophthalmology with the primary goal of providing the readers with the rationale for current standard of care of various neuro-ophthalmic diseases. This includes the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial, Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Decompression Trial, Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial, Rescue of Hereditary Optic Disease Outpatient Study, and Controlled High-Risk Avonex® Multiple Sclerosis Study

Sciatic nerve palsy is the most common nerve injury associated with acetabular fracture and dislocation, but femoral nerve injury is known to be very rare because of relative protected position of nerve between the iliacus and psoas muscle, and as far as we know only one report was noted in English about combined femoral and sciatic nerve injury associated with acetabular fracture and dislocation, so we hereby report a case of combined femoral and sciatic nerve palsy associated with acetabular fracture and dislocation.
