Dor neuropática no aprisionamento do nervo fibular na cabeça da fíbula

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Resumo

Antecedentes

A neuropatia fibular na cabeça da fíbula (PNFH) é uma mononeuropatia que normalmente se apresenta com pé caído e anormalidades sensoriais sobre a área da pele inervada pelo nervo fibular.

Objetivo

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a dor neuropática em pacientes com PNFH.

Métodos

Pacientes com características clínicas e eletrodiagnósticas consistentes com PNFH associada a perda de peso, postura das pernas ou sono prolongado foram incluídos neste estudo de coorte retrospectivo. Estudos de condução nervosa foram realizados nas extremidades inferiores bilaterais de todos os pacientes. A escala de avaliação de sintomas e sinais neuropáticos de Leeds (LANSS) foi aplicada a todos os pacientes.

Resultados

Trinta e dois pacientes com PNFH (78%) foram incluídos no estudo. A pontuação LANSS em outros pacientes foi menor que 12. Houve 1 paciente com pontuação LANSS de 12. As características eletrodiagnósticas de 16 pacientes foram compatíveis com degeneração axonal. Os escores médios do LANSS de pacientes com PNFH com e sem degeneração axonal foram 4,3 ± 3,7 e 5,2 ± 2,9, respectivamente (p = 0,255).

Conclusão

O presente estudo mostrou que a dor neuropática é um sintoma raro em pacientes com PNFH associada à perda de peso, postura das pernas ou sono prolongado.
