| Distal sciatic nerve of a 36 year old bus driver presenting with a focal left lower extremity painful neuritis of unclear cause.
(A) Cross sections of the sciatic nerve as it divides into tibial (t) and peroneal (p) components. Use of phased array coil allows evaluation at the fascicle pattern. Some fascicles become bright and swollen at the site of injury (A2) at the expense of the interfascicular epineurium. (B) MIP reconstruction of the tibial and peroneal nerves created from a selected volume containing the nerve cross sections. In this case, the precise location of a severe fascicular disruption could be shown with great accuracy and it could also be demonstrated that there was no persisting lesion near the nerve which might require surgical treatment. |
