Hansen's disease: computed tomography findings in peripheral nerve lesions.
Hansen's disease induces hypertrophic neuropathy. Computed tomography was performed on ulnar, median, peroneal and tibial posterior nerves where there is clinically presumed lesion. The CT findings (diameter and density) have correlated well with intra-operative findings. The computed tomography is a reliable method to study peripheral nerve lesions in Hansen's disease patients.
