Median Nerve Compression within the Humeral Head of Pronator Teres

Abstract: We describe a case of the pronator syndrome caused by compression of the median nerve by a fibrous band as the nerve passed through the humeral head of origin of pronator teres. This rare anatomical arrangement resulted in displacement of the median nerve to the anterior aspect of the medial humeral epicondyle and, as far as we are aware, has not previously been described as a site of compression neuropathy.

“…Son yıllarda kullanılan değişik tanı metodları sayesinde n. medianus'a bası yapan nedenler ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Bu nedenler arasında sinirin m. pronator teres'in başları arasında sıkışması sıkça görülmektedir (11,12). Aslında diğer nedenlerin sonucunda da bu kasın fonksiyonunu etkileyecek semptomlar ortaya çıkmaktadır.…”

“…In approximately 80% of cadaver dissections, the median nerve passes between the superficial and deep heads of the pronator teres. 11,17,31,32 When both heads of the pronator teres are present, the median nerve passes behind both heads in 4.6% of cases and passes through the deep head in 1.8% of cases. 32 The deep head of the pronator teres is absent in 21.7% of the population.…”

“…Additional heads of Pronator Teres and Flexor Carpi Radialis have been described arising from Bicipital Aponeurosis [5]. Cases of the pronator syndrome caused by compression of the median nerve by a fibrous band as the nerve passed through the humeral head of origin of pronator teres has been reported [6].…”
