Advance imaging with magnetic resonance neurography for the diagnosis of unusual extensive pelvic perineural spread in colorectal cancer: a case report
This case highlights the potential role of the magnetic resonance neurography in the accurate diagnosis of perineural spread in rectal cancer, emphasizing the value of functional magnetic resonance neurography sequences in differentiating it from other causes of neuropathic pain. This is essential for clinicians, as perineural spread is associated with a poor prognosis and necessitates appropriate management.
