title: [Iatrogenic injuries of the peripheral nerves].
abstract: Among 388 patients with mononeuropathies staying at the neurosurgical department, lesions of the nerves in 47 were induced by treatment manipulations. This group of iatrogenic neuropathies was made up of 15 cases of injection neuropathies, 19 cases of postoperative and 13 cases of positional end compression neuropathies. 39 patients were operated on. The interval from the development of neuropathy to operation ranged from 1 month to 15 years and constituted 23.7 months on the average. Complete convalescence was recorded in 13 operated patients, improvement in 22; 4 patients manifested no changes.
