Цель исследования: систематизировать и проанализировать данные об анатомо-морфологических особенностях верхних ягодичных нервов и рассмотреть возможности применения методов визуализации для диагностики их поражения.

Материалы и методы

Материалы и методы. Изучены оригинальные публикации, содержащие информацию об использовании методов визуализации для диагностики нейропатии верхних ягодичных нервов, депонированные в ресурсах PubMed и информационного портала eLIBRARY.RU.

Результаты

Результаты. Выделены наиболее важные аспекты, касающиеся возможностей применения методов визуализации в диагностике нейропатии верхних ягодичных нервов.

Заключение

Заключение. Современные методы лучевой диагностики дают возможность обеспечить визуализацию нейропатии верхних ягодичных нервов, однако отсутствие надежных диагностических критериев не позволяет с уверенностью диагностировать указанную патологию и, соответственно, верифицировать связанные с ними случаи синдрома боли в нижней части спины.

Objective

Objective: to systematize and analyze data on the anatomical and morphological characteristics of the superior cluneal nerves and to consider the potential of the application of medical imaging techniques for the diagnosis of their damage.

Materials and methods

Materials and methods. We studied original publications deposited in PubMed resources and the information portal eLIBRARY.RU which contained information on the application of imaging techniques for the diagnosis of superior cluneal nerve neuropathy.

Results

Results. The work highlights the most important aspects relating to the potential of the application of imaging techniques in the diagnosis of superior cluneal nerve neuropathy.

Conclusion

Conclusion. Modern methods of radiodiagnostics make it possible to provide visualization of superior cluneal nerve neuropathy. However, the lack of reliable diagnostic criteria does not allow of trustworthy diagnosis of this pathology and, accordingly, of verification of associated low back pain cases.
