cervical plexus entrapment
Introduction
Introduction to cervical plexus compression syndrome The main cause of cervical plexus compression is the soft tissue compression at the root or joint of the cervical plexus. It is characterized by neck pain, discomfort, neck, scalp lateral and periapical sensation, and can be combined with a thoracic outlet. Syndrome. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.025% Susceptible people: no special people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: cervical spondylosis
Cause
Causes of cervical plexus compression
(1) Causes of the disease
Soft tissue compression at the root or joint of the cervical plexus may be the main cause.
(two) pathogenesis
Anatomical observation, found that the supraclavicular nerve and neck 3, the neck 4 nerve joints have a number of clusters of lymph nodes located in the nerve; the nerve-wound tissue in addition to fat, as well as criss-crossed tough fibrous tissue, mid-slant The sacral muscles, anterior scalene muscles, head muscles, neck muscles, and scapular levator muscles, which cross the cervical nerve roots, are the anatomical basis for the compression of the cervical plexus.
Prevention
Cervical plexus compression syndrome prevention
There is no effective preventive measure for this disease. Early detection and early diagnosis are the key to the prevention and treatment of this disease.
Complication
Cervical plexus compression syndrome Complications cervical spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis, a small number of cases with chest outlet syndrome.
Symptom
Cervical plexus compression syndrome common symptoms thoracic outlet syndrome
It is characterized by neck pain, discomfort, neck, scalp side and periorbital sensation, and can be combined with thoracic outlet syndrome. According to the author's observation of clinical cases in recent years, the percentage of clinical symptoms is seen.
In addition, the authors found that approximately 28% of cases had a chest outlet syndrome.
1. The neck and shoulder discomfort are the main symptoms.
2. The main symptoms were decreased in the ear circumference and neck side.
3. Exclude cervical spondylosis and other neck disorders.
4. After the neck pain point is partially closed, the symptoms disappear and the feeling is immediately improved and even returned to normal.
5. Can be accompanied by chest outlet syndrome.
Examine
Examination of cervical plexus compression syndrome
X-ray films can exclude cervical vertebral and cervical spine disorders.
Diagnosis
