The common peroneal nerve is a major source of innervation to the lower limb, but it is sometimes compressed or entrapped at the fibular head. The authors present what they believe is the first reported case where peroneal nerve impingement caused by ganglion cyst compression of the nerve at the fibular head was diagnosed using a combination of ultrasound imaging and electrodiagnostic studies. The authors described the history, physical examination, electrodiagnostic findings, and musculoskeletal ultrasound findings of a patient with a left foot drop caused by a ganglion cyst compressing the common peroneal nerve at the fibular head. The increasing role of ultrasound imaging to evaluate musculoskeletal pathology is discussed.
腓总神经是下肢主要的神经支配来源，但有时会在腓骨头处受到压迫或卡压。作者报告了他们认为首例通过超声成像和电诊断研究相结合诊断出的腓总神经因腓骨头处神经节囊肿压迫导致的撞击伤病例。作者描述了一名因神经节囊肿在腓骨头处压迫腓总神经导致左脚下垂患者的病史、体格检查、电诊断结果和肌肉骨骼超声检查结果。文中还讨论了超声成像在评估肌肉骨骼病变方面日益重要的作用。
