A ganglion cyst at the elbow causing superficial radial nerve compression: a case report
INTRODUCTION We report a rare case of a ganglion cyst at the elbow causing neurological symptoms by stretching the superficial radial nerve alone. Ganglia associated with radial nerve palsy at the elbow have been reported previously involving the deep branch of the posterior interosseous nerve and the superficial radial nerve, but not the superficial radial nerve alone. CASE PRESENTATION A 45...
متن کاملCompression of the radial nerve at the elbow by a ganglion: two case reports
INTRODUCTION Radial nerve compression by a ganglion in the radial tunnel is not common. Compressive neuropathies of the radial nerve in the radial tunnel can occur anywhere along the course of the nerve and may lead to various clinical manifestations, depending on which branch is involved. We present two unusual cases of ganglions located in the radial tunnel and requiring surgical excision. ...
متن کاملOssified Dorsal Wrist Ganglion Cyst: A Case Report
Ganglion cysts are the most common wrist tumors, and 60 -70% originate dorsally from the scapholunate interval. Ossification of these lesions is exceedingly rare, with only one such lesion located in the finger reported in the literature. We present a case of an ossified dorsal wrist ganglion in a 68-year-old woman.
متن کاملSLAP Lesion with Supraglenoid Labral Cyst causing Suprascapular Nerve Compression: A case report.
ABSTRACT We present a case of left suprascapular nerve palsy in a 39- year-old female secondary to compression from a large ganglion cyst. She presented with a two month history of left posterior shoulder pain which affected her work and disturbed her sleep. Clinical examination revealed a positive O'Brien's test. Supraspinatus and infraspinatus strength was mildly weakened. A magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملBilateral Radial Nerve Compression (crutch palsy): A Case Report
The radial nerve is also known as the “great extensor nerve” due to its innervation of the triceps, wrist and finger extensors. It originates from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and its course along the proximal humerus makes it particularly vulnerable to injury by compression at the proximal arm. In the primary care setting, radial neuropathy is the third most common compressive ne...
