Neuritis Associated With Acromegaly

The enigma of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome following motor vehicle collisions

“…In 1938, Moersch 6 also described spontaneous compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel and warned against an incorrect diagnosis of cervical rib. Following further studies by Woltman 7 in 1941, Zachary 8 in 1945, Brain and colleagues 9 in 1947 and Kremer and colleagues 10 in 1953, there was increasing recognition of CTS, and by 1959 a widely read textbook of surgery stated, "It is now becoming recognized that many of the symptoms which in the past were ascribed to the cervical rib and the 'costoclavicu lar syndrome' are in reality the result of compression of the median nerve in the wrist at the site of the carpal tunnel." 11 However, in 1966 the concept of the upper plexus N-TOS was revived by Roos and Owens, 12 later supported by Urschel and Razzuk 13 in 1998 and by Sanders and colleagues 14 in 2000.…”

Treatment of the Carpal-tunnel Syndrome

“…Before the work of Brain et al (1947) the successful use of this operation was reported by Woltman (1941), Zachary (1945), andCannon andLove (1946). Its effectiveness has been well attested in a number of large series since then.…”

Surgical treatment of common entrapment neuropathies in the upper limbs

“…Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, under the transverse carpal ligament (TCL), was not recognized as being responsible for the symptoms of typical CTS until 1941, 180 when the neurologist Woltman described using a technique reported in 1933 by Learmonth 96 for what is thought to be the first carpal tunnel release unrelated to trauma or a tumor. Mackinnon et al, 107 however, after reviewing the Mayo Clinic Proceedings from 1924, cite a case reported by Amadio in which the median nerve was clearly explored in the wrist and the TCL released for "median neuritis."…”
