Lumbosacral nerve root avulsions: MR imaging demonstration of acute abnormalities.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the previously reported lumbosacral nerve root avulsions presented with pseudomeningoceles at the time of delayed initial imaging. We report a case of traumatic lumbosacral nerve root injury associated with an isolated femur fracture and demonstrate the evolution of pseudomeningoceles following nerve root avulsions and edema in the perineural fat identified on the initial MR imaging.

MR imaging of the cauda equina in hereditary motor sensory neuropathies: correlations with sural nerve biopsy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although spinal root abnormalities are known to occur, spinal MR examination is seldom performed in hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN). The following work was undertaken to assess the MR imaging spectrum of lumbosacral spinal nerve root abnormalities and determine whether intradural nerve root involvement could be related to any biopsy feature. METHODS Ten...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of CT myelography, MR myelography, and both in neonatal brachial plexus palsy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although most infants with brachial plexus palsy recover function spontaneously, approximately 10-30% benefit from surgical treatment. Pre-operative screening for nerve root avulsions is helpful in planning reconstruction. Our aim was to compare the diagnostic value of CT myelography, MR myelography, and both against a surgical criterion standard for detection of complete...
متن کامل3D MR Neurography of the Lumbosacral Plexus: Obtaining Optimal Images for Selective Longitudinal Nerve Depiction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The number of centers currently performing 3D fat-suppressed isotropic imaging is limited. If the angular orientations of the major lumbosacral plexus nerves on 3D isotropic MR neurography could be determined, similar planes could be prescribed during acquisition of 2D or 3D nonisotropic techniques for optimal depiction of various nerves. Our aim was to determine oblique ...
متن کاملMR Imaging of Lumbar Root Avulsion: Report of Two Case Studies
scribed in 1960 (1), is a very rare disease because the bony pelvis provides an effective shield against external injury. Thus, pelvic ring fracture or hip dislocation (1) usually precedes lumbosacral nerve root avulsion. Isolated lumbosacral nerve root avulsion is so rare that, to the best of our knowledge, only nine cases have been reported in the English literature to date (2). The diagnosti...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance neurography in extraspinal sciatica.
BACKGROUND Sciatica without evidence of lumbosacral root compression is often attributed to piriformis syndrome. However, specific diagnostic tools have not been available to demonstrate sciatic nerve entrapment by the piriformis muscle. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of magnetic resonance (MR) neurography in identifying abnormalities of the sciatic nerve in patients with unexplained sciatica....
