Abstract
Background: Paraneural sheath engulfing the sciatic nerve (SN) between the ischial tuberosity and the greater trochanter is well known.
Methods: In order to explore the anatomical planes separating the paraneurium from the epineurium in SN, we conducted a cadaveric study (two patients and four specimens), followed by a clinical study in 10 patients.
Results: We demonstrated an elevation of 5-7 layers of paraneural tissues after an in-plane injection in the longitudinal axis of the proximal SN, which was possibly the last of the paraneural sheath. In the clinical study, the block provided low pain scores with no rescue analgesia postoperatively and no neurological deficit at the time of discharge.
Conclusion: This is probably the first series which has described the elevation of several layers of paraneural tissues after an in-plane injection in the longitudinal axis of the proximal SN.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medical Ultrasound is the peer-reviewed publication of the Asian Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, and the Chinese Taipei Society of Ultrasound in Medicine. Its aim is to promote clinical and scientific research in ultrasonography, and to serve as a channel of communication among sonologists, sonographers, and medical ultrasound physicians in the Asia-Pacific region and wider international community. The Journal invites original contributions relating to the clinical and laboratory investigations and applications of ultrasonography.
