Neural fibrolipomatous hamartoma is a rare benign tumour commonly involving the median nerve. Other less frequently involved nerves include the ulnar, radial, brachial plexus, superficial peroneal nerve, inferior calcaneal nerve and median plantar nerve. Involvement of sural nerve has not been reported in the available literature so far. A three-year-old female child presented with a painless s...

Peroneal nerve compromise results in the clinical complaint of weakness of the ankle dorsiflexors and evertors. This peripheral origin of foot drop has been reported due to numerous traumatic and insidious causes. Traumatic causes of nerve injury occur in association with musculoskeletal injury or with isolated nerve traction, compression, or laceration. Insidious causes include mass lesions an...

The common peroneal nerve arises from the sciatic nerve and is subject to a variety of abnormalities. Although diagnosis is often is based on the clinical findings and electrodiagnostic tests, high-resolution sonography has an increasing role in determining the type and location of common peroneal nerve abnormalities and other peripheral nerve disorders. This article reviews the normal sonograp...

several previous studies of adults have reported that the amplitudes of the sural and superficial radial nerve (sn and srn) action potentials are larger with antidromic than with orthodromic recordings. however, this difference has not been documented in children. this study evaluated the amplitudes of sn and srn sensory nerve action potentials (snaps), obtained with antidromic and orthodromic ...

BACKGROUND Involvement of the peripheral nervous system in the pathogenesis of prion diseases is becoming increasingly evident. However, pathologic protease-resistant prion protein deposition in the peripheral nerves of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease has never been demonstrated, to our knowledge. OBJECTIVE To determine whether mutated prion protein accumulation could be shown in the ...

Leprosy is a chronic infection affecting mainly the skin and peripheral nerve. Pure neuritic form of this disease manifests by involvement of the nerve in the absence of skin lesions. Therefore, it can sometimes create a diagnostic problem. It often requires a nerve biopsy for diagnosis, which is an invasive procedure and may lead to neural deficit. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of an ...

One of the most common diseases in tropical countries is Hansen's disease. Mainly presents as Tuberculoid and lepromatous leprosy apart from its sub classification. Neuritic disease one commonly seen cases by neurologists. It can present mononeuritic form or mononeuritis multiplex with without dermatologic manifestations. Among peripheral nerves involved are greater auricular, ulnar,superficial...

Since the mid-1970s, the use of local anaesthesia by podiatrists has been a routine part of practice and has facilitated the application of many techniques that have been developed to the benefit of the patient. The methods employed range from local infiltration of the anaesthetic agent at the site of the lesion to nerve trunk block techniques that prevent sensory stimulus from the area of the ...
