nerve compression syndromes

Preferred Label : nerve compression syndromes;

MeSH definition : Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.;

MeSH synonym : syndrome, nerve compression; compression syndromes, nerve; nerve compression syndrome; syndromes, nerve compression; compression syndrome, nerve;

MeSH hyponym : entrapment neuropathies; internal nerve compression syndromes; nerve entrapments; external nerve compression syndromes; Entrapment, Nerve; Entrapments, Nerve; Nerve Entrapment; Nerve Compression Syndromes, Internal; Neuropathies, Entrapment; Neuropathy, Entrapment; Nerve Compression Syndromes, External;

MeSH annotation : coord IM with specific nerve disease (IM) or specific nerve (IM); cauda equina syndrome: coord IM with CAUDA EQUINA (IM); coordinate with specific nerve disease or specific nerve;
