Neuromuscular ultrasound involves the use of high-resolution ultrasound to image the peripheral nervous system of patients with suspected neuromuscular diseases. It complements electrodiagnostic studies well by providing anatomic information regarding nerves, muscles, vessels, tendons, ligaments, bones, and other structures that cannot be obtained with nerve conduction studies and electromyography. Neuromuscular ultrasound has been studied extensively over the past 10 years and has been used most often in the assessment of entrapment neuropathies. This review focuses on the use of neuromuscular ultrasound in 4 of the most common entrapment neuropathies: carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy at the elbow and wrist, and fibular neuropathy at the knee.
神经肌肉超声涉及使用高分辨率超声对疑似神经肌肉疾病患者的周围神经系统进行成像。它通过提供神经、肌肉、血管、肌腱、韧带、骨骼和其他无法通过神经传导研究和肌电图获得的结构的解剖信息，很好地补充了电诊断研究。在过去的 10 年中，神经肌肉超声已经得到了广泛的研究，并且最常用于评估压迫性神经病。这篇综述重点介绍了神经肌肉超声在 4 种最常见的压迫性神经病中的应用：腕管综合征、肘和腕部尺神经病变以及膝关节腓总神经病变。
