Abstract

Radial neuropathy is the third most common upper limb mononeuropathy after median and ulnar neuropathies. Muscle weakness, particularly wrist drop, is the main clinical feature of most cases of radial neuropathy, and an understanding of the radial nerve's anatomy generally makes localizing the lesion straightforward. Electrodiagnosis can help confirm a diagnosis of radial neuropathy and may help with more precise localization of the lesion. Nerve imaging with ultrasound or magnetic resonance neurography is increasingly used in diagnosis and is important in patients lacking a history of major arm or shoulder trauma. Radial neuropathy most often occurs in the setting of trauma, although many other uncommon causes have been described. With traumatic lesions, the prognosis for recovery is generally good, and for patients with persistent deficits, rehabilitation and surgical techniques may allow substantial functional improvement.

桡神经病变

桡神经病是继正中神经病和尺神经病之后第三种最常见的上肢单神经病。肌肉无力，尤其是腕关节下垂，是大多数桡神经病的主要临床特征，了解桡神经的解剖结构通常可以直接定位病变。电诊断可帮助确诊桡神经病变，并有助于更精确地定位病变部位。超声或磁共振神经成像技术在神经成像诊断中的应用越来越广泛，对于没有重大手臂或肩部外伤史的患者非常重要。桡神经病变最常见于外伤，但也有许多其他不常见的病因。外伤性病变的预后一般较好，对于有持续性功能障碍的患者，康复治疗和外科技术可使其功能得到显著改善。

期刊介绍： The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
