Glomus tumors are small, benign tumors that arise from glomus bodies, structures found normally within the dermis that assist in temperature regulation via their vasoconstrictive response to sympathetic stimuli. Glomus tumors are found typically in the hand and are classically a cause of focal pain
METHODS
Triple blind randomized controlled study.
OBJECTIVE
To establish the treatment effect of etanercept in acute sciatica secondary to lumbar disc herniation.
BACKGROUND
Etanercept is a selective competitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha which is a proinflammatory cytokine. It is currently used
METHODS
Between 1982 and 1997, the authors treated 32 patients with sciatica who subsequently were found to have a tumor along the extraspinal course of the sciatic nerve.
BACKGROUND
Extraspinal compression of the sciatic nerve by a tumor is a rare cause of sciatica. Signs and symptoms overlap those
The authors report 2 cases of sciatica resulting from nervous compression by a desmoid tumour in women aged 33 and 27 years. In each case, careful exeresis did not prevent recurrence as shown by tomodensitometry. Eight other well-documented cases were found in the literature. The desmoid tumour
This is the description of the case of a 22 year old patient with low back pain and sciatica on the right side investigated by lumbar Dimer-X-Myelography. The result of the examination was an impression in the contrast column at the L5/S 1 level on the right. At operation an intradural tumour,
For women, gynaecological or obstetrical disorders are second to disc prolapse as the most common cause of sciatica. As not many effective conventional treatments can be found for sciatica following uterine cancer, patients may seek assistance from complementary and alternative medicine. Here, we
Three athletic patients with cauda equina or lumbosacral cord tumor noticed, as an early symptom of the disease, alternating bilateral sciatica synchronized with each stride while jogging. Comparison with athletic patients who developed lumbar disc hernia suggested that this symptom was significant.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the supportive non-neural component of the peripheral nerves. An unusual case of pain and weakness of the foot and calf muscles due to a giant MPNST of the sciatic nerve in the posterior compartment of the
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibition with infliximab (IFX) in treating recurrent and disabling chronic sciatica pain associated with post-operative peridural lumbar fibrosis.
METHODS
A double-blind, placebo-controlled
METHODS
The possibility to prevent nucleus pulposus-induced functional and structural nerve root injury by selective tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibition was assessed in an experimental model in the pig spine.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to evaluate the role of tumor necrosis
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of 14 intraspinal nerve sheath tumours (NST) presenting with sciatica were reviewed. The group comprised seven schwannomas, six neurofibromas and one perineuroma. The tumours were either iso- or hypointense with respect to spinal cord on
METHODS
An open-label study was conducted.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of infliximab, a monoclonal chimeric antibody, against tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) for the treatment of severe sciatica.
BACKGROUND
Evidence from animal studies indicates that TNFalpha plays a role in
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical findings and characteristic features in sciatic notch dumbbell tumors (SNDTs).
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes and characteristic features of consecutive cases of SNDTs (n = 8).
RESULTS
Buttock masses occurred in three patients with SNDT
OBJECTIVE
Systematic review comparing biological agents, targeting tumour necrosis factor α, for sciatica with placebo and alternative interventions.
METHODS
We searched 21 electronic databases and bibliographies of included studies. We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs), non-RCTs and
OBJECTIVE
Currently, no satisfactory treatment is available for sciatica caused by herniated discs and/or spinal stenosis. The objective of this study is to assess the value of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors in the treatment of sciatica.
METHODS
Without language restrictions, we searched
