We present a case of medial plantar nerve injury by screw tip after open reduction and internal fixation of intraarticular calcaneus fracture. We reviewed the risk and prevention technique of medial plantar nerve injury in fixing the calcaneus fracture.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if stretching the sciatic nerve in control and patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy significantly alters F-wave parameters. METHOD: We studied F-waves in the deep peroneal & posterior tibial nerves of 20 patients with unilateral lumbosacral radiculopathies and 22 controls. F-waves were recorded bilaterally in the neutral position and supine in 30o & 60o straight leg raising (SLR). F-wave parameters included minimal latency (F min), maximal latency (F max), mean latency (F mean), latency difference between F min and F max (chronodispersion), mean duration (F dur) and side to side difference in F min, F max, F mean and F dur. RESULTS: In controls, the F-wave latency was found to be longer in supine with SLR than in neutral position. In patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy, significant differences of F max, F mean and F dur between sides during 30o SLR were noted in the deep peroneal nerves, but all parameters in the posterior tibial nerves during SLR were not changed. CONCLUSION: In this study, we observed significant changes in F-wave latency in control during straight leg raising, but no significant changes in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. For the clinical application to lumbosacral radiculopathy, further study is needed.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a complex of symptoms resulting from the compression of the posterior tibial nerve or its branches. Many studies have done on etiologic agents. We reported two cases of tarsal tunnel syndrome secondary to the varicosis of posterior tibial vein. Symptoms were relieved after excision of the varicosis, neurolysis and reposition of posterior tibial nerve.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the somatosensory findings of pusher syndrome in stroke patients. METHODS: Twelve pusher patients and twelve non-pusher patients were enrolled in this study. Inclusion criteria were unilateral stroke, sufficient cognitive abilities to understand and follow instructions, and no visual problem. Patients were evaluated for pusher syndrome using a standardized scale for contraversive pushing. Somatosensory finding was assessed by the Cumulative Somatosensory Impairment Index (CSII) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) at 1 and 14 weeks after the stroke onset. Data of SEPs with median and tibial nerve stimulation were classified into the normal, abnormal, and no response group. RESULTS: In the baseline characteristics (sex, lesion character, and side) of both groups, significant differences were not found. The score of CSII decreased in both groups at 14 weeks (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the CSII scores between the two groups at 1 and 14 weeks. There were no significant differences in SEPs between the two groups at 1 and 14 weeks after the stroke onset. CONCLUSION: It appears that somatosensory input plays a relatively minor role in pusher syndrome. Further study will be required to reveal the mechanism of pusher syndrome.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1993;29(1):39-45
Six patients with twenty histologically proven neurilemmomas of the extremities were studied using magnetic resonance(MR) imaging. The size, number, signal intensity on spin-echo T1WI(TR 500-650ms/TE 14-25ms)and gradient -echo (TR 200-600ms/TE 14-20ms; flip angle 25-30)image, enhancement pattern, detectability of nerve of origin, nerve-lesion relationship, and presence of a capsule were analyzed. The masses ranged from 1 to 12cm in longitudinal diameter and originated from the median nerve, ulnar nerve, sciatic nerve, radial nerve, and tibial nerve. All the nerve tracts except for those of 5 lesions, which could not be detected due to their small diameter, were visualized as low intensity tubular structures. All visible nerve tracts were situated along the periphery of the lesion and this finding was considered to be specific for neurilemmona. All neurilemmomas were isointense with the surrounding muscle on spin-echo T1WI and hyperintense on gradient-echo image. After a GD-DTPA injection, all masses showed moderate or marked enhancement and more prominent inhomogeneity than that on nonenhanced scan. In 19 out of 20 lesions(95%), a low signal intensity capsule surrounding the masses could be seen. Four of the six patients showed multiple masses, which was unusual as neurilemmoma usually arises as a solitary mass. In conclusion, the MR findings, especially the eccentric location of the mass lesion from the nerve of origin and the presence of a capsule, were useful in making a diagnosis of neurilemmoma of the extremity and that multiple neurilemmomas were not uncommon.

Ganglion cysts that occurred within sheaths of peripheral nerves have been documented in literatures, but it is relatively rare condition. The peroneal nerve is the most common site of involvement. Other reported sites of involvement are the radial, ulnar, median, sciatic, tibial and posterior interosseous nerves. We report a case of the intraneual ganglion cyst within peroneal nerve and another case of the intraneural ganglion cyst within a medial plantar nerve that were successfully excised without neurologic complication.
