Summary
Ultrasonography aids in early leprosy diagnosis and treatment monitoring. This non-invasive method accurately assesses peripheral nerve changes, improving patient outcomes in leprosy management.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
Background:
- Leprosy is a common cause of treatable peripheral neuropathy.
- Current diagnostic methods like clinical examination and electrophysiology have limitations.
- Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing deformities in leprosy.

Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.

10.5K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...
