recommendations! Published in 2019 at "CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00270-019-02240-7

Abstract: AbstractAimImage-guided cervical nerve root injections can cause serious complications including spinal cord infarction. This risk may be increased in patients with carotid stenosis who develop collateral arteries. The aim of this study is to describe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00381-017-3457-3

Abstract: IntroductionNerve root anomalies (NRAs) are a set of well-described congenital irregularities for which several classification systems have been devised over the years.ConclusionThis comprehensive review examines the anatomy and characteristics of NRAs; their surgical, radiographic, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00586-018-5562-8

Abstract: PurposePrevious studies have indicated that decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) values on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are well correlated with the symptoms of nerve root compression. The aim of our study is to determine primary radiological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-024-06196-7

Abstract: Selective nerve root blocks (SNRB) are used both as a therapeutic and diagnostic tool for lumbar radicular pain. Most studies evaluate the effect of SNRB simply by its relation to pain reduction. It is well… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2019.109293

Abstract: Tarlov cysts (TCs) consist of dilated nerve root sheaths filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and are most frequently found in the sacrum. It is estimated that 25% of detected TCs cause chronic pain and intestinal… read more here.
