Nerve compression by pacinian corpuscles

C Gama, L C França

    The Journal of Hand Surgery
    |May 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Nerve compression in the hand caused by Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia is rare, often linked to trauma. Surgical removal of these hyperplastic corpuscles effectively resolved symptoms in two reported cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Nerve compression syndromes
    • Tumor pathology

    Background:

    • Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia causing nerve compression is an uncommon condition.
    • Previous literature reports six cases, with four linked to hand trauma.

    Observation:

    • Two new cases of Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia leading to hand nerve compression are presented.
    • Both cases had a history of prior trauma to the affected hand.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the hyperplastic Pacinian corpuscles was performed in both cases.
    • Complete resolution of clinical symptoms was observed post-surgery.

    Implications:

    • This study highlights surgical excision as an effective treatment for Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia-induced nerve compression.
