1/71. Intrapartum common peroneal nerve compression resulted in foot drop: a case report.This case report is to illustrate a case of a 24-year-old Jordanian woman, gravida 1, para 0 who developed intrapartum foot drop due to compression injury of the common peroneal nerve behind the head of fibula. diagnosis was based on history, clinical examination and electrophysiological studies. Treatment included daily sessions of physiotherapy. Complete recovery of the condition took place within 2 months.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/71. Primary extracranial meningioma of the foot: a case report.We present a rare case of primary extracranial meningioma in a 36-year-old man, who had a solitary multinodular mass located in the plantar muscle of the foot. The histology of specimens from simple excision was typical of meningioma, showing bland spindle cell proliferation with a whorl pattern. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the tumor cells showed diffuse and strong positivity for epithelial membrane antigen as well as moderate reactivity for cytokeratin and vimentin. Ultrastructurally, the tumor cells were characterized by thin bipolar cytoplasmic processes and joined by multiple small desmosomes. There were frequent pinocytotic vesicles and a distinct external lamina on the cell surface. These findings suggest that this primary ectopic meningioma, arising in the soft tissue, may have been derived from perineurial cells of the peripheral nerve, but was morphologically distinguishable from perineurioma. Primary extracranial meningioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue spindle cell tumors, especially those of peripheral nerve origin.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/71. Cutaneous schwannoma of the foot.Schwannomas usually present as solitary subcutaneous tumors adherent to a peripheral nerve. A solitary cutaneous schwannoma presenting as a solitary cutaneous nodule on the foot of a 19-year-old male is described. This is an unusual presentation of schwannoma. Saucerized excision produced an excellent result with no adverse effect on function or cutaneous sensation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/71. Neurilemoma of the medial plantar nerve: a case report and literature review.A neurilemoma is an uncommon, benign, encapsulated neoplasm whose origin is derived from the schwann cells. Its incidence in the foot is uncommon. A review of the literature, etiology, incidence, clinical presentation, histology, differential diagnosis, and treatment are discussed. The authors present a case of a neurilemoma of the medial plantar nerve of the foot.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/71. A Pacinian hyperplasia of the foot.A case of Pacinian hyperplasia of the right great toe is reported. Pacinian hyperplasia is a rare benign and recently recognized painful lesion composed of an excess of well formed or hyperplastic Pacinian corpuscules, normaly involved in sensory innervation. This lesion that is usually observed in the hand, must be distinguished from nerve tumors harboring onion-bulb structure which are not true well formed Pacinian corpuscules and from Morton neuroma. Pacinian hyperplasia is considered a reactive lesion and not a true neoplasm. To our knowledge, this case is the first described in the foot.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/71. Malignant schwannoma of the planta.Schwannomas (neurilemmomas) are common tumors originating in the sheaths of peripheral nerves. The tumor may have the appearance of a reddish-brown or pale papule that is painful or itching. The surface is usually smooth but may be ulcerated or verrucous. Malignant reversal is rare. The authors present the case of a twenty-year-old patient with a malignant schwannoma of the plantar portion of the heel. They describe the surgical approach, the results of histopathological examination and subsequent follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/71. Popliteal venous aneurysms: involvement of tibial nerve in aneurysmal wall.Primary popliteal venous aneurysms are very rare vascular abnormalities, with 50 cases reported in the English literature. Thromboembolic complications are common in popliteal venous aneurysms. Since medical treatment has been proved inadequate, surgical repair is recommended with a minimum time delay. However, it involves some risk because of the complex anatomy of the popliteal space. We report on a case of popliteal venous aneurysm, in which the tibial nerve was involved in the aneurysmal wall and was injured by surgical repair.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/71. Neurilemoma of the medial plantar nerve: a case report.The incidence of neurilemoma in the foot is uncommon. Neurilemoma of the medial plantar nerve distal to the tarsal tunnel, with symptoms isolated to the foot, is rare. A case presentation of neurilemoma arising from the distal portion of the medial plantar nerve that was identified and excised is presented with a 19-month follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/71. Pedal plexiform neurofibroma: review of the literature and case report.Plexiform neurofibroma typically occurs in the setting of neurofibromatosis type 1, and is included in the diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis. Plexiform neurofibromas generally affect larger peripheral nerves and are uncommon in the foot and ankle. While there are several reports of large neurofibromas involving the foot, they have been described on the plantar aspect. We report the first known case of plexiform neurofibroma involving the deep peroneal nerve of the foot. A review of the literature is also presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/71. Multiple schwannomas of the foot. Case report and strategy for treatment.Determining the appropriate treatment of a benign tumor of a peripheral nerve in the foot and ankle region presents a clinical dilemma, as resection of the tumor will cause loss of nerve function and create the possibility of a painful neuroma. Several surgical solutions to this problem were used in the care of a patient who presented with painful bilateral Morton's neuromas and was found to have bilateral schwannomas on pathologic examination of the resected nerves. Subsequent evaluation for recurrent bilateral foot pain demonstrated multiple tumors along the tibial nerve in one foot. The patient also became aware of a painful mass on the dorsolateral aspect of one foot. review of the treatment options for this patient with multiple schwannomas provides a framework for decision making in the care of the patient with benign neural tumors of the foot.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
