Anyone heard of "vascular blush" in the median nerve - for a carpal tunnel release


Posted: Feb 19, 2014

For the findings he says - Moderate hourglass deformity and vascular blush are noted in the median nerve.

I cannot find out what vascular blush is, but it's pretty clear he is saying that, but cannot find it to confirm.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, it's legit. Not only in median nerve, but other anatomical areas as well. - Try googling "vascular blush"
