The Double Crush Nerve Syndrome Often Overlooked As A
The Double Crush Syndrome. In this article, Dr. Osterman makes the following points: "Multilevel lesions along a peripheral nerve trunk do occur." "In the double crush syndrome as postulated by Upton and McComas, the presence of a more proximal lesion does seem to render the more distal nerve trunk more vulnerable to compression."
Unlocking the Mystery: Double Crush Syndrome
Double crush syndrome mechanism. The first description of double crush syndrome was in 1973 (1).There are typically central and peripheral areas of symptoms (see table 1).The hypothesis is that there is a disruption of axoplasmic flow or neural elasticity that causes nerves that have been compromised at one site to become more susceptible to compromise at …

Double Crush Syndrome
Double crush conditions may affect either the upper extremity or the lower extremity. It is vital that the possibility of concurrent problems be evaluated prior to any surgical steps. In CTS, many times the nerves to the hand are damaged due to injuries of the wrist along with concurrent injuries ranging from the forearm to the upper neck ...
Multifocal Neuropathy: Expanding the Scope of Double Crush Syndrome
Double crush syndrome (DCS), as it is classically defined, is a clinical condition composed of neurological dysfunction due to compressive pathology at multiple sites along a single peripheral nerve. The traditional definition of DCS is narrow in scope because many systemic pathologic processes, such as diabetes mellitus, drug-induced neuropathy, vascular …

Sciatic Double Crush Syndrome Involving Different Sites
The classic definition of the double crush syndrome (DCS) describes a clinical entity of two (or rarely more) sites of compression along a single peripheral nerve. It was first described in 1973 by two Canadian neurologists Adrian Upton and Alan McComas, who...

Introduction. Double crush syndrome (DCS) consists of impingement of the spinal and peripheral nerves. This syndrome results in a complex clinical presentation in which a single lesion in the proximal portion of a nerve predisposes that nerve to a second lesion distally, especially when the nerve passes through a narrow anatomical canal.
