When occurring in the proximal forearm they can compress the posterior interosseous branch of the radial nerve resulting in an insidious onset of weakness of digital extensor muscles. A case of posterior interosseous nerve palsy from lipoma in a 58-year-old man...

متن کاملCase Report: POSTERIOR INTEROSSEOUS NERVE COMPRESSION SYNDROME
Radial nerve compression or injury can occur at any point along the course of the nerve within the upper extremity. Entrapment of the radial nerve or its branches is most common within the proximal forearm and at the elbow. Variations in anatomic structures at this level are an important cause of radial nerve entrapment syndromes. Compression of the radial nerve and its branches at the elbow ca...
متن کاملPosterior interosseous nerve compression secondary to a parosteal lipoma: Case report and literature review.
An unusual case of limited radial nerve palsy secondary to a parosteal lipoma is presented, along with a thorough review of the literature. Palsy of the posterior interosseous nerve secondary to compression by a lipoma is a rare occurrence. Most cases tend to occur in the fifth to eighth decades of life. The pattern of physical symptoms may be quite variable. A high degree of suspicion must be ...
