Abstract:

  Abstract   The supracondylar process is a beak-like bony projection that arises from the anteromedial   surface of the humerus. The process has rarely been associated with   compression of the median nerve and seldom requires treatment. We report a case   of a supracondylar process that caused tenting of the median nerve with elbow extension   and pronation.

Unusual median nerve schwannoma: a case presentation.

Peripheral nerve sheath tumors are common soft tissue neoplasms and their characterization is often challenging. Although the surgical pathology defines some typical entities, some degree of controversy regarding the classification of these tumors still exists. Newer imagistic and histopathological techniques are crucial for their accurate diagnosis and grading. We present an unusual case of me...

An Unusual Origin of An Ulnar Nerve From A Median Nerve- A Case Report

Variations in the formation of brachial plexus are common and have been reported by several investigators in relation to origin of roots, trunks, cords, divisions and branches. The nerves of the extremities are especially vulnerable to injury because of their long course and superficial distribution. The basic anatomy of median and ulnar nerves in the upper limb is well described in the textboo...

Myoepithelioma of the hand and carpal tunnel: An unusual cause of median nerve compression.

Myoepitheliomas are rare tumors increasingly recognized to occur in the soft tissues. Although the hand and carpal tunnel are exceptional locations, the presence of these lesions in such sites constitutes a potential cause of debilitating symptoms. We report the case of a patient with severe pain secondary to median nerve compression and displacement of flexor tendons caused by a rapidly growin...
