AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes are associated with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies and a variety of rheumatic and endocrinological diseases.
Methods: We report a patient with entrapment syndromes of multiple nerves associated with chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Nerve ultrasound, histology, and ultrastructural changes were assessed.
Results: The 51-year-old man had developed severe deep dermal sclerosis due to chronic GVHD with a progressive polyneuropathy and entrapment syndromes of multiple nerves. Pre-stenotic enlargement was shown by nerve ultrasound. Histology demonstrated fibrosis of the epineurium with scarce infiltration of macrophages. Electron microscopy demonstrated alterations of the myelin sheaths and marked depletion of normal-sized myelinated nerve fibers.
Conclusions: In addition to polyneuropathy, chronic GVHD can be associated with peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes and should be added to the differential diagnosis of compressive neuropathies.

Objectives: Window entrapment in cats can lead to reduced blood flow to the spinal cord, muscles and nerves, resulting in ischaemic neuromyelomyopathy. The severity and duration of entrapment greatly influence clinical and neurological outcomes, as well as prognosis. The aim of the present retrospective multicentric study (2005-2022) was to describe clinical, neurological and selected clinicopathological findings, as well as the outcome of cats trapped in bottom-hung windows, presented to both first-opinion and referral-only clinics.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare cause of exertional leg pain in young adults, which is caused by compression of the popliteal artery by the surrounding muscular structure. Due to significant overlap in symptoms with other conditions, limitations of diagnostic imaging, and lack of awareness, PAES is frequently misdiagnosed, resulting in late complications and poor prognosis. Clinical assessment is crucial in making the initial diagnosis and referring for relevant investigations for PAES.

Introduction: The endoscopic assisted release for cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) gained popularity in recent years with unclear long-term results. This study aims to evaluate long term results regarding functional and subjective outcomes after endoscopic assisted release for the CuTS.
Materials And Methods: Thirty one patients who have been treated by endoscopic assisted release for CuTS between 2006 and 2013 were followed up both clinically and with a questionnaire with a mean follow up of 152 months (range 120-204 months).

Objective: Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) results from an anomalous relationship between the popliteal artery and the myofascial structures of the popliteal fossa. The long-term treatment outcomes are not well known because of the rarity of the disease. This study aimed to establish a nationwide collective dataset, and analyze treatment outcomes.
