Abstract:
The radial artery is increasingly used as a coronary bypass graft. We report on a patient who developed a severe complex regional pain syndrome type II--also called causalgia--after radial artery harvesting. After an odyssey of diagnostic and presumed therapeutic procedures, she underwent surgical revision of the left forearm. Intraoperatively, a titanium clip in close neighborhood to the superficial radial nerve affecting the perineurium was found and removed, and more distally, a small neurinoma (3 by 4 mm) was resected. Despite presumed successful operation, symptoms did not improve. The patient presumably remains unable to use her left arm and hand.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
