  • Anorexia

    Other less common causes include lower-limb lengthening procedures, anorexia nervosa, and paraneoplastic syndromes. Also, peroneal nerve mononeuropathies can occur in hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, vasculitic disorders, and leprosy. [urotoday.com]

  • Knee Pain

    Approximately 10 h postoperatively, the patient reported bilateral hip and knee pain. Physical examination by surgical and anesthesia teams showed no lower extremity skin changes, edema, or paresthesia; the patient did not report incisional pain. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

  • Mononeuropathy

    Also, peroneal nerve mononeuropathies can occur in hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, vasculitic disorders, and leprosy. Many times, an underlying etiology remains unclear, and the condition is termed idiopathic. [urotoday.com]

  • Cerebellar Sign

    There were no cerebellar signs and no neck rigidity. All the neck movements were normal. His spine examination was normal, and his peripheral pulses were all normal in both lower limbs. [urotoday.com]

The aetiology, diagnosis, pathology and treatment of compartment syndrome are described. Complications of the syndrome may be life-threatening and permanently disabling. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Delay in treatment may result in permanent disability, and extensive fasciotomy is required to decompress the leg compartments. [urotoday.com]

Despite this and the growth of alternate often effective, non-invasive forms of treatment for menstrual disorders, hysterectomies continue to be performed. [jjlaw.com.au]

Treatment of the syndrome is controversial: some advise early fasciotomy s-s and others recommend conservative treatment. [uretra.it]

Perioperative monitoring of the lower extremity circulation and compartment pressures are essential in these patients since early detection and treatment of these complications is the only way to prevent permanent limb injury. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]

The prognosis in each case was for a gradual recovery of motor function but spinothalamic sensory impairment and severe spontaneous pain over the affected area persisted. 6 In our three cases, as the neurological symptoms appeared, prompt removal of catheter [apicareonline.com]

A number of other etiologic factors have been reported in the literature. [urotoday.com]

Etiology: Is thought to be secondary to compression of the nerve between the lateral head of the fibula and the bar holding the legs. When the candy cane stirrups are used, special attention must be paid to avoid compression. [openanesthesia.org]

Also, pressure on the eyes is a possible etiology of postoperative blindness, a rare but devastating complication. The arms can be placed either at the patient's sides or supported along the head. [nursingcenter.com]

DISCUSSION Needle or indwelling catheter induced trauma and local anesthetic neurotoxicity have been described to be the etiology of most of the neurological complications following neuraxial block. [apicareonline.com]
