RESUMO
Os autores avaliaram todos os exames de condução nervosa do nervo tibial dos pacientes com suspeita de neuropatia da hanseníase, aguda ou subaguda, atendidos no Ambulatório de Hansenologia do Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL) no período de dois anos. Foram incluídos 75 pacientes, 52 masculinos e 23 femininos, com média de idade de 44,5 anos (21 a 73 anos), totalizando 150 nervos. Procurou-se caracterizar o comprometimento neurofisiológico individualizando-se os ramos plantar medial (PM) e plantar lateral (PL), observou-se que o mais envolvido foio PL com 57,4%, seguido do PM com 42,6%. O tipo de lesão nervosa mais frequente foi a de predomínio axonal, com 66%, seguida pela mielínica, com 28,7%.O envolvimento mais freqüente e desproporcional dor amo PL, além de evidenciar o caráter compressivo do comprometimento do tibial no túnel do tarso, remete a uma mononeuropatia múltipla compressiva nos membros inferiores. A alta prevalência do comprometimento do nervo tibial foi considerada uma marcada doença, da mesma forma que a neuropatia ulnar.
ABSTRACT
The authors assessed all tibial nerve conduction studies (NCS) of the patients under suspicious of acute or subacute leprosy neuropathy, who have been attended the Leprosy Ambulatory Clinic of the ILSL during a period of two years. Seventy-five patients have been included as follows 52 male and 23 female, between 21 and 73 years old, with the mean age of 44.5 totaling 150 nerves The medial plantar (MP) and lateral plantar ( (LP) branches were studied separately. The most involved was the LP with 57.4%, followed bythe MP with 42.6%. The most frequent injury among the abnormal nerves was the axonal lesion with 66%, followed by the myelin lesion with 28.7%. The most frequent and disproportional involvement of thePL branch not only demonstrates the compressivecharacter of the tibial nerve injury in the tarsaltunnel but also indicates a multiple entrapment mononeuropathy in the lower limbs. The high prevalence of the tibial nerve injury was considered a hallmark of the disease, as well as the ulnar neuropathy.
