Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Leprosy is a leading cause of treatable peripheral nerve disorders globally.
  • Acute neuritis in leprosy can cause irreversible limb impairment and deformities.
  • Current nerve assessment relies on clinical evaluation and nerve conduction studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review sonographic findings in leprosy.
  • To describe the technique of high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) for peripheral nerve assessment in leprosy.
  • To recommend a standardized HRUS protocol for leprosy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on sonographic findings in leprosy.
  • Description of the HRUS technique for peripheral nerve imaging.
  • Development of a recommended protocol and proforma for HRUS in leprosy.

Main Results:

  • High-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) provides detailed, noninvasive information on nerve morphology and pathology in leprosy.
  • HRUS findings correlate with histological changes and can identify nerve alterations not accessible by biopsy.
  • HRUS is a cost-effective alternative to MRI for evaluating nerve involvement in leprosy.

Conclusions:

  • HRUS is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring peripheral nerve involvement in leprosy.
  • Standardized HRUS protocols are needed to ensure consistent and reliable assessment.
  • Early detection and treatment of nerve changes using HRUS can improve functional outcomes in leprosy patients.
