Thermographic presentation of cutaneous sensory and vasomotor activity in the injured peripheral nerve
BRELSFORD KL; UEMATSU S
J NEUROSURG , 1985, vol. 62, n° 5, p. 711-715 Doc n°: 21151 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AC2 - PATHOLOGIE DU SYSTEME NERVEUX PERIPHERIQUE, AD4 - SENSIBILITE SOMESTHESIE Impaired function of cutaneous segments of monkey peripheral nerves experimentally blocked by lidocaine anesthesia was clearly visualized by means of elevated temperature measurements obtained on computerized color telethermography. Mean temperature elevations in the segments of anesthetized primate nerves were 2.40°C at the ulnar segment 17 minutes after nerve block, and 1.20°C at the peroneal nerve at 20 minutes. The vasomotor activity of specific nerves, recorded after local anesthesia and displayed by color telethermographic imaging, corresponded to the distribution of sensory segments identified by more cumbersome means. Telethermography is therefore shown to be a useful tool, both qualitively, in mapping cutaneous distribution of peripheral nerves and for evaluation of peripheral nerve injuries.
