Sciatic nerve lesions
Sciatic nerve lesions cause motor loss below the knee and sensory loss in the foot and leg. Most commonly injured in the buttock, often from trauma or injection.
Obturator nerve lesions
Obturator nerve lesions cause impaired thigh adduction and medial thigh sensory loss, most often from pelvic trauma, compression, or compartment syndrome.
Femoral nerve lesions
Femoral nerve injury causes leg extension weakness, impaired hip flexion, and sensory loss over the anterior thigh and medial leg. Often traumatic in origin
Common Peroneal Nerve Lesions
Common peroneal nerve injury causes foot drop and sensory loss over the lateral leg and foot. Often due to trauma or compression near the fibular neck
Ulnar Nerve Lesions
Ulnar nerve lesions cause claw hand, sensory loss in the medial hand, and weakness of grip. Most often due to trauma, compression, or neuropathy.
Radial Nerve Lesions
Radial nerve lesions typically cause wrist drop and sensory loss over the dorsum of the hand. Commonly due to trauma, compression, or systemic disease.
Median Nerve Lesions
Median nerve lesions cause weakness in forearm pronation, wrist/finger flexion, and thumb opposition, with characteristic sensory loss in the lateral hand
Axillary Nerve Lesions
Axillary nerve lesions typically cause deltoid weakness and sensory loss over the lateral shoulder, often following shoulder trauma or dislocation.
FFS: Headache – Neuralgic Chart
Comparative chart of neuralgic headache types including primary stabbing headache, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache, and TACs with key features and treatments.
FFS: Primary Stabbing (Ice Pick)
Primary stabbing (ice pick) headache causes brief, sharp head pains without autonomic features, requiring imaging to exclude other causes and possible indomethacin therapy.
FFS: Post Dural Puncture Headache
Post dural puncture headache is a positional headache following lumbar puncture or spinal anaesthesia, managed with analgesia, caffeine, and possibly a blood patch.
FFS: Migraine Headache
Migraine is a common neurovascular headache managed with triptans, antiemetics, and lifestyle measures, requiring clinical diagnosis and exclusion of red flags.
