ABSTRACT

This chapter provides that the themed presentation encourages quick, focused study and detailed answers aid comprehension and encourages familiarity with radiculopathies with essential diagrams, colour images and sample MRIs. adial nerve injury would commonly consist of wrist drop and numbness of the dorsal surface of the hand, mainly of the anatomical snuffbox. The C6 nerve innervates the lateral aspect of the arm and thumb and is responsible for elbow flexion and forearm pronation and supination. Spondyloarthropathy is the most common cause of lumbosacral radiculopathy, along with disc disease. Other causes include multiple myeloma, metastatic spinal tumours, spinal infections such as vertebral osteomyelitis and spinal cord tumours such as spinal cord meningiomas, although all of these are rare.
