The sural nerve begins in the upper calf region where two significant nerves join together. It extends downward along the back outer section of your leg, curves around the ankle, and terminates ...

Immunofixation electrophoresis did not detect M protein. Sural nerve biopsy showed notable edematous changes in the subperineurial space, this was most apparent in 5 of 9 nerve fascicles. In addition, ...

Objective To evaluate the clinical and pathological correlations characterising each clinical subtype of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Methods We assessed 106 ...

Not surprisingly, skin biopsy analysis seemed to be more sensitive than sural nerve conduction studies for diagnosing small-fiber neuropathy. 62 One study, 85 however, showed that in patients with ...

A new study has assessed the usefulness of sural nerve biopsies in the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The study, published in Clinical Neurophysiology, found ...

We first checked the myelin structure in biopsy samples of the sural nerve from 3 diabetic neuropathy patients (male age 65, female age 49, and male age 38). Immunofluorescence staining for ...

Biopsy specimens obtained from the lungs or mediastinal lymph nodes provide the greatest diagnostic yield. 25,26 Surgical approaches (e.g., video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or mediastinoscopy ...

Researchers found more severe neuropathy — specifically, small fiber damage to the skin and cornea — in patients with type 1 diabetes who experienced painful diabetic neuropathy as opposed to those ...

Sural nerve biopsy was performed using the standard method behind the lateral malleolus and studied in the frozen, paraffin and semithin sections in 31 patients. 7 Axonal degeneration is determined by ...

Figure 1. Ultrasound images of the sural nerve at the lateral and distal portion of the calf. In (A), sural nerve CSA 1 mm 2 in a 54-year-old woman, with BMI = 20.0 Kg/m 2 and PDQ = 9. In (B), sural ...

Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours arising from the Schwann cells surrounding the nerve. Incidence of peripheral nerve sheath benign tumours occurring ...
