TY - JOUR T1 - Median Nerve Compression Due to Struther Spur TT - گزارش 1 مورد فشردگی عصب مدین توسط خار JF - RJMS JO - RJMS VL - 11 IS - 40 UR - http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-12-en.html Y1 - 2004 SP - 263 EP - 268 KW - Key Words: 1) Median Nerve 2) Compression Syndrome N2 - Entrapment of median nerve can be developed at multiple sites along this nerve. One of the compression sites of median nerve is supracondylar area of humerous. Sometimes struther ligament or spur or both of them are the rare cause of entrapment syndrome of the median nerve. Struther ligament or spur can compress ulnar nerve and/or brachial artery. These cases may have median ulnar nerve or brachial artery symptoms and they are sometimes asymptomatic which can accidentlly be detected by radiography. Most commonly, these cases refer with median nerve compression syndrome and they complain about numbness and pain in their upper extremity. Sometimes pain radiates to shoulder and neck in the upper part and to hand in the lower part, that is mistakenly diagnosed as a sign of radiculopathy or other compression neuropathies. The present study is a case report of a 25-year-old man who referred with having pain and numbness in right upper extremity. M3 ER -
