  Background: The objective of this review was to evaluate the clinical and electrophysiological findings of eight obese patients following a weight loss of more than 25 kg through diet, bariatric surgery or anorexia nervosa, coming out with peripheral nerves compression signs and symptoms. Methods: Eight patients were studied; seven of them had walking difficulty, detecting clinical evidence of common fibular nerve injury, and another one shows unilateral ulnar nerve injury.

Results: The common fibular nerve compression (seven patients) and ulnar compression (one patient) was confirmed by appropriate electrophysiological procedures. Wides.. Read More»
