AB - A 42-yr-male presented with left foot drop of 2 months duration. General examination showed enlarged greater auricular nerve (GAN) and hypoanesthetic patch over dorsum of left leg (figure 1A,B). Neurological examination showed thickened left common peroneal nerve (CPN) at fibular neck and weak dorsiflexors of left leg. Electrophysiological study showed left CPN involvement. High-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) of nerves was done with 15–7 MHz hockey-stick transducer on Philips HD15 machine. GAN was enlarged bilaterally with completely effaced fascicular architecture and thickened epineurium (figure 1C–F). HRUS also revealed enlarged …
