Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is commonly caused by nerve injury, inflammation, or entrapment. Owing to the complex anatomy and branching patterns of pelvic nerves, pelvic neuropathies are often difficult to illustrate and diagnose. High-resolution 3-T magnetic resonance neurography is a promising technique for the evaluation of peripheral neuropathy. In this article, the authors discuss the normal anatomy of major pelvic nerves, technical considerations of high-resolution imaging, and normal and abnormal imaging appearances with relevant case examples.
慢性盆腔疼痛综合征通常由神经损伤、炎症或受压引起。由于盆腔神经的解剖结构复杂且分支模式多样，盆腔神经病变往往难以阐释和诊断。高分辨率3-T磁共振神经成像术是评估周围神经病变的一种很有前景的技术。在本文中，作者讨论了主要盆腔神经的正常解剖结构、高分辨率成像的技术要点以及正常和异常的成像表现，并列举了相关病例。
