title: Tibialis anterior muscle herniation with superficial peroneal nerve involvement: Ultrasound role for diagnosis and treatment.
abstract: Ultrasound is helpful to identify nerve suffering cause. We report a case of pain at leg associated with burning paresthesia. Ultrasound found tibialis muscle herniation, close to superficial fibular nerve. The morphological alteration was supposed to be the cause of symptoms. Neurolysis, based on ultrasonographic findings, allowed symptoms relief.
