Perineurography

Perineurography is a method for diagnosing diseases of the nervous system using a contrast agent. This method allows you to determine the presence of pathological changes in the nervous tissue and assess the condition of the vessels that feed it.

Perineurography is used in neurology and neurosurgery to diagnose tumors, as well as to determine the location of the disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. An iodine-containing substance is used as a contrast agent, which is injected into the patient's vein. Then, after passing through the blood vessels, the contrast agent enters the brain tissue and stains it.

The perineurography procedure can be performed both in a hospital setting and on an outpatient basis. It is painless and does not require special preparation. After the procedure, the patient can return to their normal activities.

Advantages of perineurography:

High diagnostic accuracy;
Possibility of determining the location of circulatory disorders;
No need for surgical intervention;
Safety for the patient.
However, perineurography also has its disadvantages:

The need to use contrast agents, which can cause allergic reactions;
Restrictions on use in patients with renal failure.
In general, perineurography is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the nervous system, which makes it possible to identify pathological changes in the early stages and begin treatment.

Perineurography is a medical term used to describe a method of visualizing the nerve root as it exits the spinal cord and enters muscle or other tissue. This method helps doctors diagnose perineuritis, which is a disease that affects the peripheral nerves.

The essence of diagnosis for perineuritis is that there is compression of the intervertebral nerves, nerve trunks of peripheral nerves in the knee or hip area, with subsequent deterioration in the nutrition of nerve tissue. Neuropathy is manifested by pain, focal muscle atrophy, and impaired sensitivity of the skin in the affected area.

Perineurography is performed using computed tomography (
