In this study we evaluated the frequency and further assessment of extraneural findings encountered during peripheral nerve ultrasound (US).
Our retrospective review identified 278 peripheral nerve US examinations of 229 patients performed between December 2014 and December 2015. Reports were reviewed to assess the number of studies without peripheral nerve abnormalities and the frequency and further assessment of extraneural findings.
A total of 107 peripheral nerve US examinations of 90 patients (49 men and 41 women, mean age 55 ± 16 years) did not report peripheral nerve abnormalities. Extraneural findings were observed in 24 of 107 (22.4%) studies. Fifteen of the 278 [5.4% (95% confidence interval 2.7%-8.1%)] studies led to a recommendation for additional imaging or clinical evaluation of an extraneural finding.

在本研究中，我们评估了外周神经超声（US）检查中发现的神经外异常情况的频率及进一步评估情况。
我们通过回顾性研究，确定了2014年12月至2015年12月期间对229例患者进行的278次外周神经超声检查。对检查报告进行审查，以评估未发现外周神经异常的检查数量，以及神经外异常情况的频率和进一步评估情况。
共有90例患者（49名男性和41名女性，平均年龄55±16岁）的107次外周神经超声检查未报告外周神经异常。在107项检查中有24项（22.4%）观察到神经外异常情况。278项检查中有15项[5.4%（95%置信区间2.7%-8.1%）]检查建议对神经外异常情况进行额外的影像学检查或临床评估。
至少5.4%（278项检查中的15项）的外周神经超声检查导致了额外的临床或影像学评估。《肌肉与神经》57: 65-69, 2018年。
