Radial Palsy Caused by Ganglion of the Elbow

Abstract

Ganglion of the humeroradial joint is a relatively rare condition, which may cause local compressive neuropathy. It is usually diagnosed in adults. Sonography of peripheral nerves can be of high value in finding the exact localization of the nerve lesion. We present a case of a healthy 55-year-old woman with radial palsy caused by an elbow ganglion which was resolved following a surgical procedure.
