The neurovascular bundle and compression-ischemic neuropathy

Abstract

The formation and development of neurovascular bundles during the embryonic period determines their individual anatomical characteristics. The growth of neurovascular bundles and the organization of paraneural spaces are influencedby various growth factors. The neurovascular bundles are located freely in the paraneural spaces and are not subject to damaging compression effects. The occurrence and existence of tunnel syndromes in natural conditions is impossible. Pathological processes,which are localized outside or inside the paraneural spaces, can significantly change the topographic and anatomical relationships of the neurovascular bundle and the surrounding space.
