Median nerve compression by Struthers ligament.

L Suranyi

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |November 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Struthers ligament can compress the median nerve, causing arm and hand symptoms. Surgical findings confirmed this ligament as the cause, not a bony spur, in this case.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Median nerve entrapment can cause upper limb symptoms.
    • Differential diagnosis includes various compression neuropathies.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old patient experienced progressive left arm and hand weakness, pain, and numbness.
    • Clinical examination localized deficits to the median nerve distribution.
    • Electrophysiological testing indicated a lesion proximal to the elbow.

    Findings:

    • Intraoperative findings revealed Struthers ligament compressing the median nerve.
    • No bony abnormalities were identified radiologically or palpated during surgery.
    • This suggests Struthers ligament as a potential cause of median nerve compression.

    Implications:

    • Highlights Struthers ligament as a clinically significant anatomical structure.
    • Informs diagnostic and surgical approaches for proximal median nerve entrapment.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering soft tissue compression in neuropathy cases.
