Resumen

CEJAS, Claudia P et al. Neurografía por resonancia magnética para la identificación de la neuralgia del nervio pudendo. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.3, pp.227-232. ISSN 0025-7680.

The pudendal nerve entrapment is an entity understudied by diagnosis imaging. Various causes are recognized in relation to difficult labors, rectal, perineal, urological and gynecological surgery, pelvic trauma fracture, bones tumors and compression by tumors or pelvic pseudotumors. Pudendal neuropathy should be clinically suspected, and confirmed by different methods such as electrofisiological testing: evoked potentials, terminal motor latency test and electromyogram, neuronal block and magnetic resonance imaging. The radiologist should be acquainted with the complex anatomy of the pelvic floor, particularly on the path of pudendal nerve studied by magnetic resonance imaging. High resolution magnetic resonance neurography should be used as a complementary diagnostic study along with clinical and electrophysiological examinations in patients with suspected pudendal nerve neuralgia.

Palabras clave : Peripheral nerves; Pudendal neuropathy; MR neurography.
