[Median nerve compression syndrome at the elbow (author's transl)]. 1982

R Souquet, and M Mansat, and J P Chavoin

Twelve cases of median nerve compression at the elbow are presented. More than half of them showed only an anterior interosseous nerve syndrome (Kiloh-Nevin). Nevertheless, surgical exploration was performed from the brachial tunnel to the superficialis arch. When the neurolysis occurred reasonably early, uniform good results were obtained.

D008475	Median Nerve	A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand.

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.
