Neuritis Ascending

Ascending neuritis (n. ascendens) is an inflammation of the peripheral nerve, in which pain sensations radiate (spread) upward along the nerve.

This disease is also called radiating neuritis or ascending sympathalgia. With ascending neuritis, pain and other symptoms (numbness, tingling) spread from the site of nerve damage in a proximal direction.

Ascending neuritis can develop due to injuries, inflammatory processes, nerve compression, and can also be a manifestation of systemic diseases. To make a diagnosis, a neurological examination, ENMG, MRI and other studies are performed. Treatment depends on the cause and includes drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgical methods.

Neuritis of the ascending root of the brachial plexus is a pathological condition accompanied by pain and accompanied by dysfunction of the upper limb when the anterior part of the brachial plexus and their roots are damaged, which can lead to a disorder of shoulder movement, and in some cases, complete immobilization of the arm.

Etiology of neuritis: neuritis almost always has a traumatic etiology - the subbrachial nerve is often injured during a fall from a height and a sharp movement of the arm back. Bruises, dislocations, fractures of the scapula or humerus in the presence of a direct blow with a blunt object can cause neuritis of the ascending root. Less commonly, the cause of the development of neuritis is an inflammatory disease of the muscle tissue of the arms, leading to damage to the axillary nerve.
