Neuropathies of the lower extremity may occur from traumatic injury, surgery, tumor, entrapment by adjacent structures, and a variety of other causes. At times, the clinical presentation can be confusing. Because of its superior soft tissue contrast and the ability to image in any plane, MR imaging is the modality of choice for visualization of peripheral nerve pathology. This article discusses the anatomy and pathology of the nerves of the leg, ankle, and foot, with an emphasis on MR imaging.
下肢神经病变可能由创伤性损伤、手术、肿瘤、邻近结构压迫以及多种其他原因引起。有时，临床表现可能会令人困惑。由于其具有出色的软组织对比度以及能够在任何平面成像，磁共振成像（MR成像）是用于显示周围神经病变的首选检查方法。本文讨论了小腿、踝关节和足部神经的解剖结构和病理情况，重点是MR成像。
