Sural nerve entrapment is an impor¬tant but infrequent cause of pain. The sural nerve provides sensation to the posterolateral aspect of the leg, lateral foot and fifth toe. We present a case of sural nerve entrapment that was effectively treated by percutaneous ultrasound guided hydrodissection.

Cause Of Pain

Background: Sural nerve entrapment is an impor­tant but infrequent cause of pain. The sural nerve provides sensation to the posterolateral aspect of the leg, lateral foot and fifth toe. Sural nerve entrapment can be challenging to treat and can cause significant limitation. We present a case of sural nerve entrapment resistant to conservative management that was effectively treated by percutaneous ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the sural nerve. Case Report: A 57 year old male came with complaints of pain and tingling sensation on both lower limbs with 50% decrease in sensation to touch (right > left) in lateral aspect of both foot. The patient had tried several conservative modalities with no success. We performed percutaneous ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the sural nerve and the patient reported complete improvement in his pain. Conclusion: Percutaneous ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the sural nerve, is a safe and effective treatment for patients with sural nerve entrapment that does not respond to conservative therapy. However, studies are needed to elucidate its effectiveness and safety profile.

A schwannoma is a slow-growing, neurogenic tumor composed of Schwann cells arising from a peripheral nerve sheath. The authors present a rare finding of a schwannoma of the sural nerve that was overlooked in a 51-year-old female with radiating foot pain. This case highlights the clinical implications and important teaching points in recognizing a schwannoma of the foot.

There are myriad causes for upper thoracic and interscapular pain which include pathologies involving the thoracic spine, costovertebral joints, facet joints and muscles (rhomboids and levator scapulae). Dorsal scapular nerve entrapment and the resulting neuropathy is a rare case of upper thoracic and medial scapular pain. The symptoms of dorsal scapular nerve entrapment neuropathy can be similar to other pathologies mentioned above. We report a rare case of dorsal scapular nerve entrapment managed successfully by ultrasound-guided hydrodissection, and describe the technique for the same. Awareness of this rare entity is advised while evaluating upper thoracic and interscapular pain.
