[Oligofascicular median nerve compression syndrome]

P Haussmann, K Kendel

    Handchirurgie
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome can occur without a fibrous band, involving compression within the median nerve trunk. Surgical intervention with nerve grafting led to good motor function recovery in a reported case.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Peripheral Nerve Surgery

    Background:

    • Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome (AINS) is typically attributed to compression by fibrous bands near the pronator teres or flexor digitorum superficialis.
    • Clinical presentation of AINS involves characteristic motor deficits in the forearm and hand.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with clinical signs consistent with AINS.
    • Surgical exploration revealed no identifiable fibrous band compressing the anterior interosseous nerve.
    • The compression was localized to fascicles within the main median nerve trunk destined to form the anterior interosseous nerve distally.

    Findings:

    • Resection of the damaged fascicles within the median nerve trunk was performed.
    • Interfascicular nerve grafting was utilized to reconstruct the compromised nerve pathways.
    • Significant motor function recovery was observed 16 months post-operatively.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests that AINS can arise from intrinsic median nerve fascicular compression without external fibrous bands.
    • It highlights the potential for successful surgical management, including nerve grafting, in atypical AINS presentations.
    • Further investigation into the etiology of intrinsic median nerve fascicular compression is warranted.
