“…as primary or delayed treatment with varying degrees of success. 5,16,[26][27][28][29] The presence of prodromal pain in many AINS patients and the potential for spontaneous symptomatic resolution, however, are more suggestive of an inflammatory and/or ischemic, rather than compressive, etiology. The frequency of fascicular abnormalities of the median nerve proper described in this and other studies provides further evidence for a noncompressive neuropathy.…”

“…AINS has conventionally been considered an idiopathic neuropathy of the forearm and several studies have reported forearm decompression as primary or delayed treatment with varying degrees of success . The presence of prodromal pain in many AINS patients and the potential for spontaneous symptomatic resolution, however, are more suggestive of an inflammatory and/or ischemic, rather than compressive, etiology.…”

Fascicular constrictions above elbow typify anterior interosseous nerve syndrome

Introduction In this study we tested the hypothesis that fascicular constrictions (FCs) of the median nerve proximal to the elbow joint characterize anterior interosseous nerve syndrome (AINS). Methods Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) and ultrasound (US) examinations were evaluated in 45 patients with clinically suspected AINS. All 22 patients at site 1 underwent MRN and 8 underwent US; all 23 patients at site 2 underwent US. Results Median nerve FCs were identified in all MRN cases; FCs and/or fascicular enlargements were identified in 88% of US cases. Most FCs were in the mediannerve posterior/posteromedial region and were proximal to the elbow joint line (mean distance: MRN, 5.4 cm; US, 7.5 cm), with the exception of a single FC (located 1 cm distal). No extrinsic compression of median or anterior interosseous nerves was identified in the arm or forearm. Discussion AINS is a noncompressive neuropathy characterized by median nerve FCs in the arm.

“…Many of the dynamic analyses were photographed and video‐recorded for study and teaching with informed consent of patients. NA was defined as an acute and painful monophasic neuropathy, with single or multiple nerve lesions that cause weakness, amyotrophy, and sensory loss in an asymmetric and patchy distribution, involving especially the upper limbs . NA was triggered by mechanical or infectious precipitating conditions in 50% of cases, with normal MRI of the cervical spine.…”

There were 5 main diagnostic findings in unilateral TM palsy: (1) dynamic examination of the scapula provides a new clinical sign; (2) NA is the most frequent medical cause; (3) in medical cases, partial preservation of the upper TM can offer good recovery; (4) FSH must be considered, especially in young patients; and (5) minor neck surgery can lead to severe TM palsy.

Unilateral winged scapula: Clinical and electrodiagnostic experience with 128 cases, with special attention to long thoracic nerve palsy

Clinical data allow for identifying 2 main clinical patterns for LTN and SAN palsy. Electrodiagnostic examination should consider bilateral nerve conduction studies of the LTN and SAN, and needle electromyography of their target muscles. LTN palsy is the most frequent cause of unilateral WS and is usually related to NA. Voluntary WS and FSH must be considered in young patients. Muscle Nerve 57: 913-920, 2018.
