Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) syndrome results from paralysis affecting key forearm flexor muscles.
  • AIN syndrome can stem from localized nerve issues or broader median nerve or brachial plexus involvement.

Observation:

  • This study presents 4 cases of AIN syndrome: 3 spontaneous and 1 traumatic.
  • Clinical presentations and electromyographic (EMG) findings were analyzed.

Findings:

  • Weakness in the flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus, and pronator quadratus muscles indicates AIN involvement.
  • Differential diagnoses include lesions at the nerve, median nerve, or brachial plexus levels.

Implications:

  • Understanding the diverse etiologies of AIN syndrome is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • Electromyography plays a vital role in identifying the location and extent of nerve damage.
