From: A panorama of radial nerve pathologies- an imaging diagnosis: a step ahead
a Hypoechoic radial nerve (point A and B) is seen entrapped within mixed echogenic chronic inflammatory soft tissue (5 point and 6 point star). Malunited fracture of humerus can be seen adjacent to it (arrowheads). b Long axis view of hypoechoic radial nerve (point A and B) seen entering into the chronic inflammatory tissue. There was no evidence of increased vascularity of the nerve. c Plain radiograph showing malunited, displaced fragment of supracondylar fracture of humerus. d Axial PD sequence showing hyperintense radial nerve (black arrowhead) with surrounding hyperintense muscle oedema. e Sagittal PD sequence showing heterogeneously hyperintense area of chronic inflammation in region of malunited supracondylar fracture of humerus (white arrowhead). The radial nerve is enlarged and hyperintense (black arrowhead) and is not visualised within the area of chronic inflammation and surrounding muscle oedema (6 point star) due to similar signal intensities
