Abstract

Background: Superficial perineal nerve (SPN): It is the nerve of lateral compartment of leg. It is one of the two terminal branches of the common perineal nerve given at the neck of the fibula, it arises in the substance of peroneus longus on the lateral side of the neck of fibula. Methods: A dissection was done in ten lower extremities (five from femaleand five from male) that had been well-maintained in a formalin arrangement. The subcutaneous layer was cautiously dissected in every preparation so that distortion of neural structures and their connections would be maintained a strategic distance from quite far. When the nerve structures had been recognized, the accompanying estimations were done: a) distance (in millimeters) from the upper end of the fibular head to the lower prominence of the lateral malleolus; b) number of branches from SPN when it arises through the superficial sural belt; c) distance (in millimeters) from the SPN rise highlight to the lateral malleolus; d) distance (in millimeters) from the SPN division to the lateral malleolus. Results: There were two primary discoveries from these dissections. To begin with, we noticed varieties in the quantity of branches passing through superficialanterior fascia of the leg. A few cases indicated a solitary trunk rise, later partitioning into two branches, while others demonstrated two diverse recently separated cutaneous branches. Second, in both anatomical sorts, a checked variety was seen in the relative distance from the lateral malleolus, emerging at a low, medium or elevated level. Regarding the compartment from which the SPN pierces the superficial fascia, the contrast between single-trunk and two branches ought to be considered. Conclusion: The information got appear to be adequately dependable for normal clinical practice, however it must be considered that successive and significant varieties may happen.
