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...

Superficial peroneal nerve and its branches are frequently at risk for iatrogenic damage. Although different studies on anatomical variations of superficial peroneal nerve are available in the medical literature, such reports are rare from India. Hence the present study was undertaken on Indian population. A total of 60 specimens of inferior extremities from 30 properly embalmed and formalin fi...

BACKGROUND The superficial peroneal nerve is a branch of common peroneal nerve. There are reports about the variant course and distribution of this nerve. The sural nerve arises from the tibial nerve in the popliteal fossa. The variations of the above nerves described here are unique and provide significant information to surgeons dissecting lower limb. CASE PRESENTATION The present case is a...

Lipoma is one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors. The most common location of lipomas is in areas of abundant adipose tissue. Lipomas arising in the peripheral nerves are rare tumors, with most arising in the forearm and wrist, and most have occurred within the median nerve. This report describes a case with lipoma arising in the superficial peroneal nerve.

We diagnosed entrapment of the superficial peroneal nerve in 17 patients (19 legs) with a mean age of 41 years. In all cases, plain radiographs of the leg, nerve-conduction studies of the superficial peroneal nerve and measurement of the intramuscular pressure at rest after exercise were normal. Diagnostic tests for nerve compression during rest after exercise produced pain and clinical signs i...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical results from treating chronic peripheral nerve injuries using the superficial peroneal nerve as a graft donor source. METHODS This was a study on eleven patients with peripheral nerve injuries in the upper limbs that were treated with grafts from the sensitive branch of the superficial peroneal nerve. The mean time interval between the dates of the injury an...

The skin on the dorsum of the foot is innervated by the superficial peroneal and saphenous nerves. Most of the dorsum is supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve. Here we report a variation in the sensory innervation of the cadaver. The skin of the first inter which is normally innervated by the deep peroneal nerve was also supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve. A communication between t...

Ankle fractures are a significant part of the lower extremity trauma seen in the emergency department. Neurologic complications of ankle fracture surgery are infrequently described but account for significant morbidity. The risk of nerve injury is increased for the Blair and Botte type B pattern of the intermediate cutaneous dorsal nerve branch, crossing the distal fibula from posterior to ante...

We describe a medial midline portal between the tendons of extensor hallucis longus and tibialis anterior for arthroscopy of the ankle. We dissected 20 cadaver specimens to compare the risk of neurovascular injury using this approach with that of using standard arthroscopic portals. Compared with the anterocentral portal, the medial midline was a mean of 11.2 mm further from the nearest branch ...
