There are clearly varicosities surrounding the Common Peroneal Nerve (CPN),
the arrow indicates bright signal thickened fascicles of the CPN near the
caudal extent of the varicosities.

My questions are:
1. Have you ever seen varicosities causing nerve compression / entrapment?
Other than the Spinoglenoid notch, I have not.
2. Is there a reason to call back for femur MRI to see the full extent?
3. If yes, should I recommend it be done without and with contrast?
4. Any clue how this is treated?
