Preoperative Assessment Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Subungual Exostosis beneath the Proximal Region of the Nail Plate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subungual exostosis is a benign calcifying projection that occurs on the distal phalanx beneath or beside the nail. The problems in treatment are frequent postoperative recurrence and nail deformity or loss. Here, we describe the case of a male patient with a subungual exostosis beneath the proximal region of the nail plate of the right big toe. A precise preoperative evaluation of the anatomical structure using magnetic resonance imaging was useful for removing the subungual exostosis.

The general and systemic physical examination was within normal limit. On local examination, there was a violaceous spot on the lunula and longitudinal ridging on the nail plate [Figure 1a]. The love test (applying pressure to the suspected area with a pinhead, which elicits exquisite localised pain) was positive. The posterior‐anterior and lateral view of X‐ray left hand was normal [Figure 1c]...
