Abstract:
Seven patients suffering from paralysis of the N. interosseus anterior were treated in our hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed by electro-myography. In five patients treatment was conservative, two patients were operated on. All patients treated conservatively exhibited spontaneous recovery from their paralysis during five to thirteen months after the start of complaints. In one surgical case no compressing structures were found intra-operatively. This patient's complaints also resolved. Our findings suggest that paralysis of the N. interosseus anterior has a high tendency to resolve spontaneously.
