Abstract

Peripheral neural involvement in tuberculoid leprosy is a well-known entity. However, many times, an open nerve biopsy is performed for a final histopathologic diagnosis in this condition. Sonographically guided Tru-Cut nerve biopsy is a promising alternative to open nerve biopsy in cases of leprosy and other nerve-involving diseases in an emerging era of very minimally invasive sonographically guided nerve interventions.
