Este protocolo aborda el síndrome de Burner en el contexto de la neurapraxia del plexo braquial o las raíces nerviosas cervicales — una lesión de grado I en la que los axones nerviosos no son seccionados, sino que pierden temporalmente la conducción debido al estiramiento neuronal. El nervio en sí, incluido el tejido circundante, permanece estructuralmente íntegro.
La neurapraxia (stinger de grado I) representa una alteración leve y transitoria de la conducción nerviosa sin disrupción axonal estructural. Las células de Schwann, el endoneuro, el epineuro y el perineuro se conservan, y el curso clínico es generalmente breve con recuperación esperada.
Neurapraxia, or Grade I stinger, refers to a mild injury where the axon of the nerves is not severed but will temporarily experience an interruption of conduction due to neuronal stretch.
This type of injury is usually accompanied by normal neuronal and surrounding tissue (Schwann cells, endoneurium, epineurium, and perineurium) and lasts for a very short time, with complete neurologic recovery expected.
Usually transient with no need for any intervention. Pain control, rest, and physiotherapy as needed if symptoms persist.
Cervical region epidural injections can also be used; however, utmost caution should be exercised because of the risks of traumatizing the cord directly during the procedure or indirectly due to the high pressure from administering medication in a narrowed and compromised canal.
