Hourglass Constrictive Neuropathy: A Likely Underdiagnosed Condition with Characteristic Imaging Features
Caroline Chabot, Olivier Barbier, Lokmane Taihi
TL;DR
Hourglass constrictive neuropathy is a rare condition that may be underdiagnosed and can be identified through imaging.
Contribution
The paper highlights hourglass-like constrictive neuropathy as a potential cause of unexplained peripheral neuropathy.
Findings
Hourglass constrictive neuropathy may present without intrinsic or extrinsic nerve compression.
Imaging can reveal characteristic nerve constriction in this condition.
Abstract
Teaching point: Hourglass-like constrictive neuropathy should be considered in patients with unexplained peripheral neuropathy symptoms, as imaging may show nerve constriction without evidence of intrinsic or extrinsic compression.
