Anterior interosseous nerve paralysis due to Gantzer's muscle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of an older female patient with paralysis of the anterior interosseous nerve is reported. During exploration an accessory muscle slip running from the coronoid process of the ulna towards the flexor pollicis longus (Gantzer's muscle) was found compressing the nerve.

Anterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy.
Unexplained paralysis of the muscles supplied by the anterior interosseous nerve of the forearm was recorded by Parsonage and Turner (1948), Kiloh and Nevin (1952) and Thomas (1962). In none of the patients they described was the affected nerve explored. Spontaneous recovery occurred in all, but it was long delayed and incomplete. We record here a case of “ isolated neuritis ofthe anterior inte...
متن کاملThe incomplete anterior interosseous nerve syndrome.
The anterior interosseous nerve syndrome involves paralysis of the flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus of the index and long fingers, and the pronator quadratus. We have encountered 33 cases of an incomplete syndrome in which only the flexor pollicis longus or the flexor digitorum profundus of the index finger is either paretic or paralyzed. This entity must be distinguished from...
متن کاملThe prevalence and anatomical characteristics of the accessory head of the flexor pollicis longus muscle: a meta-analysis
Background and Objectives. The accessory head of the flexor pollicis longus muscle (AHFPL), also known as the Gantzer's muscle, was first described in 1813. The prevalence rates of an AHFPL significantly vary between studies, and no consensus has been reached on the numerous variations reported in its origin, innervation, and relationships to the Anterior Interosseous Nerve (AIN) and the Median...
متن کاملPotential Compressive Sites of the Anterior Interosseous Nerve in the Proximal Forearm: An Anatomic Study
Background: The etiology and treatment of spontaneous paralysis variants of anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) syndrome remains controversial. Variation and multiple sites of potential compression complicate the successful performance of neurolysis. This anatomic study of the AIN and sites of potential compression in the proximal forearm facilitates critical steps involved in neurolytic procedur...
متن کاملAnterior interosseous nerve palsy mimicking rupture of the index flexor digitorum profundus after volar locking plate fixation of a distal radius fracture
We describe the case of a patient with distal radius fracture who became unable to flex the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger after internal fixation using a volar locking plate. There was palpable crepitus with active thumb motion, and wrist radiographs showed prominence of the volar plate at the watershed line. Therefore, our initial diagnosis was plate-induced closed rupture o...
