슬와동맥 포착증후군은 젊은 남성군에서 슬와동맥과 비복근, 섬유띠, 슬와근 간의 이상 관계로 하지의 파행과 혈류 장애를 유발하는 드문 질환이다. 명확한 진단이 어려우며, 대부분의 경우 수술적 치료가 병변의 결정적인 진단을 제공하며, 환자의 회복에 필수적이다. 34세 남자가 좌측 하지의 파행과 동통을 주소로 입원하였다. 상하지 지수, 혈관 초음파, 전산화 단층 혈관 조영술, 자기 공명 영상 검사상 좌측 슬와동맥 근위부의 폐쇄소견이 관찰되었다. 환자는 수술장에서 슬와동맥이 슬와근 주변의 섬유띠에 의해 둘러 싸여 폐쇄된 4형 슬와동맥 포착증후군으로 확인되었다. 완전히 폐쇄된 슬와동맥을 제거하고 동측의 대복재정맥을 이용한 치환 수술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 환자의 증상은 호전되었다.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome that is characterized by pain, numbness, sensory disturbance along the distribution of the median nerve in hand. Diagnosis mainly depends upon careful examination and symptomatology. Treatments have included wrist immobilization, anti-inflammatory drug, local injection of steroid, nerve block and surgical decompression. This is a clinical report about 2 cases of carpal tunnel syndrome patients who undergo oriental medical treatment. Both of two cases, Symptoms were disappeared and physical examinations were improved. The results of this study demonstrate that oriental medicine treatment that including acupuncture and herbal medicine therapy can have noticeable effects in treating the carpal tunnel syndrome.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a complex of symptoms resulting from the compression of the posterior tibial nerve or its branches, Many disease have been previously reported in the literatures as etiological agents in tarsal tunnel syndrome. We reported a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome secondary to neurilemoma of the first branch of lateral plantar nerve. The symptoms were similar with the entrapment syndrome of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve. Symptoms were completely relieved after operation.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is an entrapment neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve or its branches in the fibro-osseous tunnel beneath the flexor retinaculum. This pathology is associated with multiple etiologies, including trauma, space-occupying lesions, and impaired biomechanics. We report a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with gout tophi in a patient with untreated gout along with a review of the relevant literature on tarsal tunnel syndrome.

양측성 슬와동맥 포착증후군은 주로 젊은 남자에게서 슬와동맥과 비복근, 섬유대, 슬와근과의 비정상적인 주행관계에 의한 혈류장애로 허혈성 파행을 유발하는 드문 말초 혈관질환이다. 58세 남자환자가 내원 1개월 전부터 시작된 좌측 하지의 허혈성 파행, 냉감, 3번 발가락 괴사로 입원하였다. 발목-상완 지수 감소 소견을 보여 대퇴동맥 혈관조영술을 시행하였고 좌측 하지 천부 대퇴동맥 원 위부 이하 부위 완전폐쇄소견 보였다. 심전도상 심방세동 보여서 슬와동맥 혈전증을 의심하고 유로키나제 혈전용해술을 시행하기로 결정하였다. 혈전용해술 후 좌측 슬와동맥 포착증후군이 진단되었고 해부학적 확진을 위하여 자기공명촬영를 시행하였다. 슬와동맥이 비복근 내측으로 주행하는 제1형으로 진단되었고, 슬와동맥류를 완전 제거하고 반대측 대복제정맥를 이용하여 대치술을 시행하였다. 경미한 우측 슬와동맥류는 수술하지 않고 관찰 중에 있으며 현재까지 합병증 없이 개통성이 유지되고 있다. 이에 심하게 이환된 하지는 수술적 치료를 시행하고, 경미하게 이환된 하지는 보존적 치료로 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

발바닥 부위에 반복적인 저 에너지의 자극이 가해지는 선수들에게는 건염, 피로 골절, 또는 과사용 증후군과 같은 병변이 자주 관찰된다. 운동 선수들에게 발생하는 발뒤꿈치 통증의 대부분의 원인은 족저 근막염이고, 이 는 족저 근막의 반복적 자극에 의해 발생한다. 대부분 보존적인 치료 방법으로 증상의 호전을 보이고 운동에 복귀한다. 흔하지는 않지만, 발뒤꿈치 통증의 원인이 되는 신경 압박병증도 반복적인 자극에 따른 신경의 주변조직 비후에 의해 발생할 수도 있다고 한다. 저자들은 발 부위에 저 에너지의 반복적인 자극이 가해지는 농구 선수에게서 만성 족저 근막염이 동반된 외측 족저 신경의 압박병증을 관찰하였고, 발생 가능한 기전과 증례를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Purpose: Soft tissue chondroma is a rare benign tumor, found mainly on the palm and sole and grows slowly. Typically, mature hyaline cartilage is the dominant pathological feature. There are reports that assert soft tissue chondromas to be a cause of median nerve entrapment syndrome. However, this is the first case report showing soft tissue chondroma to be a cause of simultaneous median and ulnar neuropathy. Methods: A 62 year-old woman presented with chief complaints of numbness and hypoesthesia of her right palm for 4 to 5 years, and a palpable mass on her right palm that had been increasing in size slowly for 3 years. Physical examination revealed a firm, mobile, non-tender and about $3{\times}3\;cm^2$ sized mass in the center of the right palm. Electromyography showed entrapment neuropathy of the median and ulnar nerve. Ultrasonography showed an approximately $5.7\;cm^2$ mass below the flexor tendon of ring finger. Upon surgical excision, a $3{\times}3\;cm^2$ mass attached to the flexor digitorum profundus of ring finger and redness and hypertrophy of both the median and ulnar nerve were discovered. Mass excision was performed gently and the specimen was referred for histopathologic study. Mass excision resulted in median and ulnar nerve release. Results: The pathology report confirmed the mass to be a soft tissue chondroma with mature hyaline cartilage. The patient exhibited post-operative improvement of her symptoms and did not show any complications. Conclusion: This is the first case report showing soft tissue chondroma to be a cause of simultaneous median and ulnar neuropathy.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a non-artherosclerotic cause of claudication and acute ischemia of the legs in young athletic individuals. It is classified in terms of the abnormal anatomical relationship between the popliteal artery and surrounding structures. All types of PAES have the same pathophysiology. Repetitive arterial compression by surrounding structures causes progressive vascular injury. Bilateral PAES is reported in about 30% of cases. Bilateral PAES is usually of the same type in each artery; exceptions are rare. We report a case of a young athletic patient who suffered bilateral PAES of two different types.

Occipital neuralgia is a rare pain syndrome characterized by periodic lancinating pain involving the occipital nerve complex. We present a unique case of entrapment of the greater occipital nerve (GON) within the semispinalis capitis, which was thought to be the cause of occipital neuralgia. A 66-year-old woman with refractory left occipital neuralgia revealed an abnormally low-loop of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery on the magnetic resonance imaging, suggesting possible vascular compression of the upper cervical roots. During exploration, however, the GON was found to be entrapped at the perforation site of the semispinalis capitis. There was no other compression of the GON or of C1 and C2 dorsal roots in their intracranial course. Postoperatively, the patient experienced almost complete relief of typical neuralgic pain. Although occipital neuralgia has been reported to occur by stretching of the GON by inferior oblique muscle or C1-C2 arthrosis, peripheral compression in the transmuscular course of the GON in the semispinalis capitis as a cause of refractory occipital neuralgia has not been reported and this should be considered when assessing surgical options for refractory occipital neuralgia.

The use of ultrasound (US)-guided interventions has rapidly increased in Korean medicine (KM) to ensure the safety and accuracy of invasive procedures, such as pharmacopuncture and acupotomy. Although hands-on training is important for the acquisition of skills, it requires considerable time and cost. A detailed guide on the procedure and treatment regions is needed to ensure hygiene and safety during US-guided procedures in KM practice. In this study, we present the overall procedure, target structures, and treatment approaches of US-guided pharmacopuncture and acupotomy for nerve entrapment in the upper extremities of the cubital and radial tunnel, posterior interosseous nerve, carpal tunnel, and Guyon's canal syndrome. We believe that the findings of our study will serve as a foundation for future clinical research, practice, and education on US-guided KM procedures. Further research involving US-guided interventions should specify target structures in three-dimension to delineate the treatment areas.
