Ganglioradiculitis

Ganglioradiculitis is an inflammation of the nerve plexuses - ganglia surrounding the spine. This extremely unpleasant disease is caused by a viral or bacterial infection transmitted through the lymphatic vessels or blood. The main symptoms of the disease include pain and skin hyperemia. As the pathology progresses, the roots and spinal nerves are damaged. Ganglioradculitis can have a sudden, acute or chronic onset. Initially, the symptoms are fleeting and abrupt, which causes impairment of a person’s mobility. He is unable to stand or even lie on his back. Further, the pain syndrome is reduced due to swelling.

The disease is progressive, so the patient experiences a feeling of pins and needles in the legs. Getting rid of pain becomes problematic; you often have to take hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs. If the disease is ignored, it will cause disturbances associated with the functioning of the pelvic organs, respiratory muscles and vestibular apparatus. Ganglioradicular syndrome is diagnosed using radiography of the spine, laboratory tests of blood and urine. In some cases, a computed tomography scan is performed. In addition, to determine the degree of inflammation, electrolysis is performed.

Ganglioradiculitis (from the Latin ganglion - node, and radiculus - root from a ganglion or nerve root), or polyradicomyeloneuropathy, is a neurological disease in which inflammation of the spinal nerves occurs, accompanied by their thickening or damage due to irritation by a painful receptive field. Ganglioradicular syndrome usually has a favorable course, is often completely cured by the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapeutic methods of treatment, and can be cured surgically in some cases. An accurate diagnosis of ganglioneuritis is quite simple, based only on complaints and the results of the initial examination. From the initial diagnosis to the refinement of the treatment plan, it often takes only a few hours.
