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 کاملA 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 کاملFailed surgery for ulnar nerve compression at the elbow.
Surgical procedures for the treatment of ulnar nerve compression at the elbow are well described. Studies have reported clinical outcomes after decompression of the nerve without transposition and decompression with transposition. Numerous preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors contribute to failure of the surgical procedures. Although the techniques available for revision deco...
متن کاملCompression neuropathies of the radial nerve
The commonest cause of radial nerve dysfunction is from extrinsic compressions of the radial nerve, such as against the shaft of the humerus in “Saturday night palsy”. However, this chapter focuses on the less common intrinsic compression neuropathies of the radial nerve. Intrinsic radial nerve compression neuropathies occur much less frequently than those of the median or ulnar nerves. The com...
