Sažetak
Objectives: While electroneurography and electromyography are still dominating methods in investigation of peripheral nerve function, no data regarding their morphology is obtained. Aim of this study was to evaluate suitability of high- resolution sonography in visualization of median nerve in asymptomatic volunteers. Methods: The study included twenty-five asymptomatic volunteers ; 9 male and 16 female participants (age range 20- 68yrs). We used custom preset for musculo-skeletal sonography on Aloka Prosound Alpha10 Premier with 13MHz probe. Bilaterally measured dimensions of median nerve (at pisiform bone level) were: cross- sectional area (CSA), circumference, longer and shorter radius. Flattening ratio (FR) was calculated as a ratio of longer and shorter radius. Examinees’ height, handedness and average time spent daily working on a personal computer were obtained for further analysis. Results: Median nerve was easily depicted in all participants as well as the surrounding soft- tissue structures. Average CSA of median nerve was 9, 67mm^2 (range 5 - 15mm^2, with standard deviation of 2.4mm). Mean flattening-ratio (FR) was 4.18, ranging from 2.16 to 5.92. Median height was 173.8cm and only one subject was lefthanded. There was no correlation between average daily time spent working on a personal computer (total average of 2.96hrs) and CSA or FR values for the dominant hand. In two subjects, an aberrant artery accompanying n. medianus has been visualized. Conclusion: High-resolution sonographic imaging is a very convenient (available, quick, inexpensive and noninvasive) method for assessment of various morphological properties of median nerve, and can be used to enhance diagnostic efficiency.
