Peripheral nerve injury by chymopapain injection. 1984

S E Mackinnon, and A R Hudson, and F Llamas, and A L Dellon, and D G Kline, and D A Hunter

Chymopapain injected into the intervertebral disc space (chemonucleolysis) has been used clinically in patients with disc disease with success. Neurosurgical complications secondary to the procedure have, however, been reported. In this study, the authors have investigated the possible neurotoxic effect of chymopapain on the peripheral nerve in rat and primate models. While the extrafascicular injection caused no nerve fiber damage, the intrafascicular injection caused dose-related nerve fiber damage in both species.

D012584 Sciatic Nerve A nerve which originates in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord (L4 to S3) and supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremity. The sciatic nerve, which is the main continuation of the sacral plexus, is the largest nerve in the body. It has two major branches, the TIBIAL NERVE and the PERONEAL NERVE.
