Abstract:
Neurofibroma, a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor, represents a rare cause of posterior interosseous nerve syndrome. Electrodiagnostic studies may not identify the exact site of nerve compression, a possible lesion that compresses the nerve and do not provide information about the morphological changes. Ultrasound is a cost-effective, practical modality that provides the opportunity for dynamic tracking in the peripheral nerves, and it is widely considered as the initial imaging modality for peripheral nerves. Herein, we report a case of posterior interosseous nerve palsy in a 13-year-old boy with neurofibroma of posterior interosseous nerve diagnosed with ultrasound. The benefit of ultrasound in localizing and determining the etiology of the posterior interosseous nerve palsy is emphasized in this case report. A meticulous ultrasound examination is recommended in suspected peripheral nerve lesions, regardless of the results of electrophysiological and imaging modalities.
摘要:
神经纤维瘤,良性外周神经鞘瘤,代表一个罕见的原因后骨间神经综合征。电诊断研究可能无法确定神经压迫的确切部位,可能的损伤,压迫神经,不提供有关形态变化的信息。超声波是一种具有成本效益的,提供周围神经动态跟踪机会的实用模式,它被广泛认为是周围神经的初始成像模式。在这里,我们报道一例13岁男孩骨间后神经麻痹,经超声诊断为骨间后神经神经纤维瘤。本病例报告强调了超声在定位和确定骨间后神经麻痹病因方面的益处。对于可疑的周围神经病变,建议进行细致的超声检查,无论电生理和成像方式的结果如何。
