A 41-year-old female patient with neurofibromatosis 1 presented with new neurologic deficits secondary to malignant degeneration of a tibial lesion.

Ultrasound mapping of the popliteal nerve revealed changes consistent with an intraneural neurofibroma.

Successful popliteal nerve blockade was achieved under ultrasound guidance.
