Supracondylar Process

Abstract The presence of a supracondylar process and Struthers' ligament is a rare congenital anomaly that may cause compression of either the median nerve, the brachial artery, or both. The authors present a case in which the supracondylar process and Struthers' ligament compressed both the median nerve and the brachial artery. This case is unusual, in that the symptoms of compression of the brachial artery increased—namely, the pulse intensity decreased and the pain increased with elbow flexion.

Pulsatile Pressure

An iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery and spontaneous venous malformation are associated with median nerve compression. However, the superficial brachial artery (SBA) has rarely been described as the cause of neurological deficits due to median nerve compression. A 61-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with a 1-year history of intermittent aching palsy in the left thumb that had progressed to the first three fingers. Clinical examination revealed mild sensory disturbance and hyperpathia in the first three fingers and weakness of the opponens pollicis. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that the SBA was compressing the median nerve by almost one-third. When anomalies of the SBA impinge on the median nerve, pulsatile pressure is applied to the nerve trunk. This may trigger ectopic stimulation of sensory fibers, leading to severe pain, sensory neuropathy, and motor disturbance. Considering the substantial difficulties and risks of a surgical operation as well as the patient’s wish to undergo conservative treatment, we performed muscle relaxation and acupuncture to relieve the pressure of the surrounding soft tissue and in turn decrease the impingement of the SBA on the median nerve. A satisfactory treatment effect was reached in this case.

Arterial Anatomy

Variations of the upper limb arterial system are well documented. Accurate knowledge of the normal and variant arterial anatomy of the axillary artery is important for clinical procedures and vascular radiology. In this article, a rare bilateral variation of superficial brachial artery is being reported. The axillary artery on both sides divided in its third part into a superficial brachial artery passing superficial to the lateral root of median nerve and brachial artery proper. The former terminated in the cubital fossa by dividing into ulnar and radial arteries while the later descended deep to the medial root of median nerve and gave anterior and posterior circumflex humeral branches of axillary artery and profunda brachii of brachial artery. Then it terminated by giving twigs to muscles of arm. Earlier superficial brachial artery is reported with a prevalence rate varying from 0.2 - 25 % but a bilateral variation is extremely rare. Further its ontogeny and clinical implications are discussed in detail.

Possible Cause

El síndrome del túnel carpiano es la neuropatía por atrapamiento mas frecuente. La causa mas frecuente es el disbalance entre contenido y continente del canal carpiano. En este sentido, la presencia de músculos anormales o supernumerarios es una causa poco común pero conocida, de compresión del nervio mediano en el canal carpiano. Se presenta un caso de músculo lumbrical intracanal como posible causa de un síndrome del túnel carpiano.  Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy. The most frequent cause is the disbalance between content and continent of the carpal tunnel. In this sense, the presence of abnormal or supernumerary muscles is an uncommon but known cause of compression of the median nerve in the carpal canal. A case of intracanal lumbrical muscle is presented as a possible cause of a carpal tunnel syndrome.

Madelung’S Deformity

The authors describe a case of carpal tunnel syndrome due to Madelung’s deformity. They discuss the pathophysiological causes of median nerve entrapment to explain the compression which occurs in this disease and its clinical implications. They take also into consideration the surgical approach to the carpal tunnel in this particular condition.
