CASE STUDIED: Median nerve entrapment is a rare, serious complication of elbow dislocation. We report a Type 4 median nerve entrapment after elbow dislocation in a 10-year-old boy. Radiologically Matev's sign and a new radiological finding-a sclerotic tunnel at the lateral side of the olecranon-were seen. METHODS The patient was treated by excising the damaged segment and reanastomosing the nerve 13 months after the injury.

D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity.

D009408 Nerve Compression Syndromes Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.
