Descriptor síndromes de compresión nerviosa
Entry term(s) atrapamientos nerviosos
compresiones nerviosas
neuropatías por atrapamiento
neuropatías por compresión
Scope note: Compresión mecánica, de causa interna o externa, de los nervios o raíces nerviosas. Puede ser resultado de un bloqueo de la conducción de los impulsos nerviosos (debido a disfunción de la VAINA DE MIELINA) o de pérdida axónical. La lesión del nervio y de la vaina nerviosa puede ser producida por ISQUEMIA, INFLAMACIÓN, o por un efecto mecánico directo.

Scope note: 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.
