Posterior antebrachial cutaneous neuropathy: case report
Electromyography and Clinical Neurophysiology
|March 1, 1989
Summary
This study details the first confirmed case of posterior antebrachial cutaneous (PABC) neuropathy, diagnosed using sensory nerve conduction tests. The findings highlight PABC neuropathy
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurophysiology
Background:
- Intramuscular injections can lead to nerve complications.
- Posterior antebrachial cutaneous (PABC) neuropathy is a rare condition.
Observation:
- A case of PABC neuropathy and radial nerve palsy occurred post-intramuscular injection.
- Initial sensory nerve conduction study showed slow PABC nerve conduction velocity with normal compound nerve action potential (CNAP) amplitude.
Findings:
- Sensory nerve conduction testing can confirm PABC neuropathy.
- Follow-up testing demonstrated PABC nerve conduction velocity normalization and increased CNAP amplitude.
Implications:
- Establishes sensory nerve conduction testing as a diagnostic tool for PABC neuropathy.
- Provides insights into the electrophysiological characteristics and recovery of PABC neuropathy.
