Inre eller yttre mekaniskt tryck på nerver eller nervrötter. Detta kan leda till blockering av nervernas ledningsförmåga (pga skadat myelinskikt) eller axonförlust. Nerv- eller nervhöljeskador kan orsakas av ischemi, inflammation eller direkt mekanisk påverkan.
Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.
