Despite traumatic nerve injuries has been well documented in literature, vascular injuries of the peripheral nerve has not been extensively studied. It is not well understood if the nerve affected from mechanical trauma or ischemic insult results to degeneration by interruption of axonal traffic and flow. Although peripheral nerves have extensive anastomotic channels. it is interesting that ischemic insult should have been compensated by collateral system of the epineurial vessels. In the present study we aimed to study effect of vascular damage on axonal degeneration and regeneration process. We found that superimposition of the vascular damage aggravated severity of the trauma. We think that futher studies should be carried to understand vascular damage of the peripheral nerves.
