Involvement Beyond Peripheral Nerves in Pure Neuritic Leprosy: An MR Imaging Study
In PNL, many patients have subclinical involvement of dorsal root ganglion, brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, and spinal cord. Exact pathophysiology of CNS involvement is not clear; however, imaging of the above-mentioned regions may help in early diagnosis and prevent complications. These MRI findings in PNL are important considerations when assessing patients with peripheral neuropathy.
