Incomplete High Radial Nerve Palsy Due to Schwannoma of Radial Nerve in the Upper Arm—A Case Report
A schwannoma is a benign soft tissue tumor composed of Schwann cells. Clinically, the tumor is slow-growing and usually asymptomatic, rarely developing neurological symptoms. We present a case of a 44-year-old female who was diagnosed with an incomplete high radial nerve palsy, showing a wrist drop and extension of fingers due to schwannoma on the radial nerve of the upper arm. The patient show...
متن کاملAcute median nerve palsy due to hemorrhaged schwannoma: case report
Schwannomas are common, benign nerve tumors originating from the sheath of peripheral nerves. In this article, a 54 year old woman suffered from sudden onset motor and sensory deficit at her first radial three fingers on her right hand. Radiological investigations were normal. Electromyography diagnosed a median nerve entrapment neuropathy and urgent surgery was performed. Interestingly, a hemo...

As a result of its proximity to the humeral shaft, as well as its long and tortuous course, the radial nerve is the most frequently injured major nerve in the upper limb, with its close proximity to the bone making it vulnerable when fractures occur.Injury is most frequently sustained during humeral fracture and gunshot injuries, but iatrogenic injuries are not unusual following surgical treatm...
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...
متن کاملRadial nerve palsy in the newborn.
1348 CMAJ, September 6, 2011, 183(12) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors Isolated radial nerve palsy in the newborn is uncommon. However, pediatricians and primary care physicians need to be aware that it has a good prognosis, particularly if the history and clinical examination suggest a palsy related to intrauterine pressure. In this issue of CMAJ, Alsubhi and colleagues des...
