An 8-year-old girl presented with progressive painless right peroneal and tibial nerve palsy. A 20-year-old woman had insidious weakness of the left wrist and fingers extension. Both underwent neurophysiology (tables e-1 through e-4 on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org) and nerve ultrasound that showed enlargement of sciatic (figure, A) and radial nerve (figure, D–E). A 3D–magnetic reson...

The interosseous route remains popular for tibialis posterior tendon transfer for drop-foot. It leaves a smaller range of movement than the circumtibial route, but lengthening the calcaneal tendon may improve this. The results of this present series indicate that, in order to predict a good functional result, the ankle must be held in at least 20 degrees of dorsiflexion at the time of tendon tr...

BACKGROUND Peroneal nerve lesions are not common and are often exclusively assessed clinically and electromyographically. METHODS On a routine MR examination without dedicated MR-neurography sequences the peroneal nerve can readily be assessed. Axial T1-weighted sequences are especially helpful as they allow a good differentiation between the nerve and the surrounding fat. RESULTS The purpo...

Abstract Background Common peroneal nerve (CPN) palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare complication with poor functional outcome and has prevalence of 0.3-2.1%. Case Presentation A 77-year-old gentleman was diagnosed severe osteoarthritis the left underwent hybrid replacement via posterior approach in right-lateral position. There no usage spinal anaesthesia, leakage from wo...

fibrolipomatous hamartoma of nerve (neural fibrolipoma) is a tumor-like lipomatous process principally involving young persons. the median nerve is most commonly affected. the lesion is characterized by a soft slowly growing mass surrounding and infiltrating major nerves and their branches. it may cause symptoms of compression neuropathy and is associated with macrodactyly in one third of cases...
