About the Lab

Professor Dukhyun Seong's research lab specializes in diagnostic and interventional radiology, with a focus on peripheral nerve disorders, musculoskeletal imaging, and image-guided interventions. The lab investigates rare neurological conditions such as intraneural ganglion cysts, dystonic muscle disorders, and vasculitic myositis using advanced imaging techniques like PET/CT and MRI. Key research directions include improving the accuracy of nerve localization during interventions, understanding the spread of injectates in peripheral nerves, and evaluating treatment outcomes in complex peripheral nerve pathologies. The lab also explores the role of neuroimaging in early diagnosis and management of systemic diseases presenting with neuromuscular symptoms.

Locating the target nerve and injectate spread in rabbit sciatic nerve block
Duk Hyun Sung
SJR Q1Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine

The target nerve was located within 5 mm from the needle with less than 0.5-mA stimulation current. The injectate spread to more than 20 mm on average even when a small volume (100 microL) of the injectate was injected in rabbit sciatic nerves.

OBJECTIVES: Muscle involvement in Behçet's disease (BD) is rare, and several cases have been reported in the literature. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the clinical, laboratory and imaging findings in adult patients presenting with BD-associated myositis before the diagnosis of BD. METHODS: We retrospectively screened patients who visited a locomotive medicine clinic presenting with myalgia, local swelling, or tenderness of extremities without an established diagnosis of BD. We enrolled

Intraneural ganglion cysts originating from the hip joint: A single‐center experience
Sun Woong Kim, Young Cheol Yoon, Duk Hyun Sung
SJR Q1Muscle & Nerve

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Intraneural ganglion cysts (INGCs) are non-neoplastic mucinous cysts within the epineurium of peripheral nerves. Characteristics of INGCs around the hip joint have not been adequately described. We aimed to describe clinical features, imaging findings, and treatment outcomes in patients with INGCs originating from the hip joint. METHODS: We retrospectively included cystic lesions around the hip joint satisfying the following inclusion criteria over 6 years: (1) multilocular el

Intraneural Ganglion Cyst of the Sciatic Nerve Treated Using Arthroscopic Hip Surgery: A Case Report
Jae Lim Kim, Jong Geol, Young Cheol Yoon, Seung‐Jae Lim, Duk Hyun Sung
SJR Q1PM&R

This is a rare case of sciatic neuropathy in a 46-year-old man secondary to an intraneural ganglion cyst from the hip joint extending upward to the lumbar plexus and the L5 nerve root. Magnetic resonance neurography showed that the joint fluid passed through a labral tear and extended rostrally along the articular branch and the peroneal portion of the sciatic nerve to near the L5 nerve root. The condition was treated by arthroscopic disruption of the joint connection to the nerve with resolutio

Case Report: Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Without Electrophysiologic Abnormality
Sun Woong Kim, Duk Hyun Sung
SJR Q2Frontiers in NeurologyOA

Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (N-TOS) is a chronic compressive brachial plexopathy that involves the C8, T1 roots, and/or lower trunk. Medial antebrachial cutaneous (MABC) nerve conduction study (NCS) abnormality is reportedly one of the most sensitive findings among the features of N-TOS. The aim of the present study was to report clinical features, imaging findings, treatment, and prognoses of two N-TOS patients with no abnormalities in electrophysiological studies. Both patients present
