Belajar Anatomi

Bagaimana Kiat Belajar Anatomi?

1. Temu-tunjuk: seperti layaknya orang menjelajah, mencarai sesuatu, ketemu, tunjukkan kepada orang, ini dia, yang kucari! Saya ingat waktu praktikum osteologi di Lab Anatomi FK UGM th 1987, saya mempelajari semua lobang yang ada di basis cranii.Aada apertura superior canaliculli tympanici, sampai kini saya tidak akan lupa, dan bisa menjelaskan panjang lebar tentang itu. Mencari sesuatu tentu harus tahu ciri-ciri khas

2. Sintopi: kenali sesuatu (yang ditemu-tunjukkan) melalui apa yang ada disekitarnya.

 

Abstract

Sudden onset loss of ankle dorsiflexion is rarely caused by compression of the common peroneal nerve by ganglion cysts. Peroneal nerve ganglion cysts typically present with a palpable mass or features of entrapment neuropathy, including pain, gradual onset motor and sensory weakness.

Ganglion cysts are common in upper extremity, most often occurring in the wrist.1 They are relatively uncommon in the lower extremity, most commonly involving the peroneal nerve.2 Involvement of the nerve commonly occurs by compression by these cysts originating from a neighbouring joint. Compression neuropathy of the peroneal nerve most commonly presents with pain along its distribution and in most cases identifiable swelling or mass at the proximal fibula. For this reason sensory loss or motor weakness is relatively uncommon. When this occurs, it is gradual and develops over the course of a period of time because of gradual extrinsic compression of the nerve.

The cases reported here are of two instances of ganglion cysts arising from the proximal tibiofibular joint where there was sudden onset of foot drop. No prior weakness or sensory symptoms were noted and an identifiable swelling was not reported by the patient. In both instances lumbar disc disease was thought to be the cause of footdrop at initial assessment.
