“…8,[33][34][35] Fourteen studies reported multiple means at a given anatomical site, such as separate means for males and females, or for right and left sides. 20,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] The greatest variability in nerve CSA was seen in the brachial plexus, tibial-popliteal fossa, and all three sciatic nerve small groups. When combining all anatomical locations for individual nerve measurements, the tibial nerve (n = 2916 nerves) was the most assessed, followed by the common fibular nerve (n = 2580 nerves), radial nerve (n = 2326 nerves), sciatic nerve (n = 1470 nerves), sural nerve (n = 1316 nerves), and brachial plexus (n = 1314 nerves).…”

Introduction/Aims Although electromyography remains the “gold standard” for assessing and diagnosing peripheral nerve disorders, ultrasound has emerged as a useful adjunct, providing valuable anatomic information. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluating the normative sonographic values for adult peripheral nerve cross‐sectional area (CSA). Methods Medline and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for healthy adult peripheral nerve CSA, excluding the median and ulnar nerves. Data were meta‐analyzed, using a random‐effects model, to calculate the mean nerve CSA and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for each nerve at a specific anatomical location (= group). Results Thirty groups were identified and meta‐analyzed, which comprised 16 from the upper extremity and 15 from the lower extremity. The tibial nerve (n = 2916 nerves) was reported most commonly, followed by the common fibular nerve (n = 2580 nerves) and the radial nerve (n = 2326 nerves). Means and 95% confidence interval (CIs) of nerve CSA for the largest number of combined nerves were: radial nerve assessed at the spiral groove (n = 1810; mean, 5.14 mm2; 95% CI, 4.33 to 5.96); common fibular nerve assessed at the fibular head (n = 1460; mean, 10.18 mm2; 95% CI, 8.91 to 11.45); and common fibular nerve assessed at the popliteal fossa (n = 1120; mean, 12.90 mm2; 95% CI, 9.12 to 16.68). Publication bias was suspected, but its influence on the results was minimal. Discussion Two hundred thirty mean CSAs from 15 857 adult nerves are included in the meta‐analysis. These are further categorized into 30 groups, based on anatomical location, providing a comprehensive reference for the clinician and researcher investigating adult peripheral nerve anatomy.

“…In studies involving Asian patients, these have been limited to one ethnic group within that population. [ 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ] In one study, the authors investigated the differences in median nerve (MN) CSA between Dutch and Indian participants,[ 17 ] suggesting that ethnicity has a significant impact on nerve CSA. Malaysia has a multiethnic population comprising three major ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese, and Indian).…”

Background: High-resolution nerve ultrasound provides morphological information of peripheral nerves. We aimed to determine the normal ultrasonographic reference values of nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) in multiethnic Malaysian healthy participants. Methods: Nerve ultrasound of the median, ulnar, radial, tibial, fibular, and sural nerves was performed in 84 healthy participants at anatomical-defined locations. The CSA at each scanned site was measured by tracing circumferentially inside the hyperechoic rim of each nerve. Comparisons were made between genders and ethnic groups. Correlations with age, ethnicity, gender, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were evaluated. Results: CSA values and reference ranges in healthy participants were generated. Nerve CSA was significantly different in different gender ( P = 0.002–0.032) and ethnic groups ( P = 0.006–0.038). Men had larger nerve CSA than women, and Malay participants had larger nerve CSA compared to other ethnic groups. Nerve CSA had significant correlations to age, height, weight, and BMI ( r = 0.220–0.349, P = 0.001–0.045). Conclusion: This study provides normative values for CSA of peripheral nerves in a multiethnic Malaysian population, which serves as reference values in the evaluation of peripheral nerve disorders. The ethnic differences in nerve CSA values should be considered during nerve ultrasound.
