title: Computerized tomography of peripheral nerve lesions.
abstract: Nine patients with a peripheral nerve lesion (six intrinsic and three extrinsic) were evaluated with computerized tomography (CT). In all but one instance, the CT scans gave useful information regarding the anatomical location, size, and relationship of the lesion to surrounding structures. These cases illustrate the usefulness of CT as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of peripheral nerve lesions.
