Superficial peroneal nerve entrapment is an uncommon compression neuropathy, and is frequently associated with a fascial defect and a muscle hernia. The standard treatment of that was the nerve decompression by complete or limited fasciotomy. But, we experienced a case of superficial peroneal nerve entrapment had satisfactory surgical outcome by fascial repair of peroneus muscle.

The pyriformis syndrome is an entrapment neuropathy in which the sciatic nerve is compromised by the pyriformis muscle. Using local anesthetics and steroid injection through a needle guided by an electric nerve stimulator, we satisfactorily treated a case of pyriformis syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a possibility of the Korean medical treatment in patient with anterior interoseous nerve entrapment syndrome. The patient treated with acupunture, herbal medicine and Needle-embedding Therapy from April 19th to May 15th. We measured Visual Analotgue Scale(VAS), and Observed the change in body tempreture using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(DITI). After received Korean medical treatment, the patient showed improvement in muscle strength, sensation, VAS, temperature differential. Therefore we can consider Korean medical treatment before operation in interosseous nerve syndrome.

Rectus abdominis syndrome is the abdominal pain which occurs in the distribution of the medial or lateral cutaneous branch of the 7~12th intercostal nerves. It is frequently cause that results in unnecessary pain and expense to patient. The physical examination is difficult because of severe abdominal pain. We must have attention to the possibility that patients with abdominal pain, in whom no intra- abdominal cause is founded, may suffer from this presumed nerve entrapment syndrome. If we can find the cause of pain in the abdominal rectus muscle, no evaluation and surgery are required and therapy can be simple.

Recurrent motor branch entrapment syndrome is a compressive mononeuropathy of recurrent motor branch of median nerve. It is a rare condition as a cause of thenar muscle wasting and may have different pathogenesis. If such an anatomical variation is the cause, there is a possibility that thenar muscle atrophy remains if only the transcarpal ligament release is performed. We report a 25-year-old male patient with carpal tunnel syndrome with thenar muscle wasting 1 month ago.

The upper trunk of the brachial plexus is the most common area affected by neuralgic amyotrophy (NA), and paresis of the shoulder girdle muscle is the most prevalent manifestation. Posterior interosseous nerve palsy is a rare presentation in patients with NA. It results in dropped finger on the affected side and may be misdiagnosed as entrapment syndrome or compressive neuropathy. We report an unusual case of NA manifested as PIN palsy and suggest that knowledge of clinical NA phenotypes is crucial for early diagnosis of peripheral nerve palsies.

This study was performed to investigate the cause, symptom, treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome through Western medicine and Dong-Eui-Bo-Kham(東醫寶鑑). Results & conclusions 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome that is characterixed by pain, numbness, sensory disturbance along the dsitribution of the meridian nerve in hand 2. Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome have included wrist immobilization, anti-inflammatory drug, local injection of steroid, nerve block and surgical decompression. 3. Carpal tunnel syndrome seems to be similar with numbness(痺證). The causes were usually pathogenic Wind, Cold, Dampness. 4．Acupuncture, herbal medicine, herbal acupuncture were used for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. We considered that more study to find various and effective methods oriental medicine for carpal tunnel syndrome should be made.
