Intraneural neurofibromas involving the posterior interosseous nerve.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two patients presented with a posterior interosseous nerve palsy with supinator weakness. In each case an intraneural neurofibroma was found proximal to the supinator tunnel with no other stigmata of von Recklinghausen's disease. Both tumours showed a whorl-like histological pattern that has been previously confused with onion-bulb structures in hypertrophic polyneuropathy. Electron-microscopy was useful for the pathological diagnosis. The prognosis and treatment of the lesions are discussed.

account for approximately 3% of all biceps tendon ruptures. The two-incision repair techniques, as described by Boyd and Anderson1 in 1961, were developed to lower the risk of injury to the radial nerve and posterior interosseous nerve. Reports of posterior interosseous nerve palsy following this approach are rare.2-3 Transient posterior interosseous nerve palsies following a repair with the tw...
