[Lesions in the popliteal fossa with neurologic symptomatology--case reports, diagnostics and treatment]
Abstract:
The lesions arising in the popliteal fossa are varied. We report two different lesions related to the peroneal nerve that presented with neurologic symptoms. Both were initially treated at surgical department with insufficient diagnostics and finally required a neurosurgical operation. We emphasize performing complete diagnostics that may avoid unnecessary burden for the patient and healthcare personnel. Patients with proven intimate relation of the lesion to nerve structures in the popliteal fossa should be referred to neurosurgical department.
