Information: Pseudomeningocoele after Brachial Plexus Nerve Root Avulsion

Animation: Demonstration of traumatic pseudomeningocoeles.
The MR Neurography imaging technique also provides a useful MR myelogram capable of efficient demonstrations of traumatic pseudomeningocoeles. This term refers to the residual nerve lining left behind when the nerve elements are literally pulled out of the spinal cord by a severe injury
Although, these images are still not always definitive in the confirmation of true nerve root avulsion they are more reliable for making this diagnosis than the other available imaging techniques.

Dr. Aaron Filler is the world’s leading expert in treatment of nerve pain. He has revolutionized nerve-pain treatment by inventing several new technologies. One such technology, MR Neurography, enables doctors to use an MRI scanner to examine nerves — previously a difficult-to-impossible tissue to see through MR imaging. Dr. Filler's research in axonal transport is leading to a whole new generation of advanced pain medications. He has developed many new “minimal access” surgery methods that allow him to treat complex nerve problems with small outpatient surgeries. He has also pioneered the use of the Open MRI scanner to do surgeries and other therapies with the ultra-high precision and safety of the magnetic resonance imaging. 
Do You Really Need Back Surgery? by Dr. Aaron G. Filler, MD PhD, is a best-selling paperback every sufferer of spine and nerve pain should read. Written in everyday language, the book is a must-read.
