♦ Peripheral nerve compression syndromes are common when involving the median nerve at the wrist and the ulnar nerve at the elbow♦ All patients are primarily diagnosed using a careful history and clinical examination♦ Neurophysiological studies are very helpful especially in confusing presentations but do have a low false positive and false negative rate♦ Conservative management should be tried in nearly all patients for 6-12 weeks♦ Surgical treatment is generally very successful in relieving the symptoms of peripheral nerve compression♦ Delayed treatment can result in permanent nerve damage which cannot be corrected by surgery.

We report two cases of synovial chondromatosis presenting with peripheral nerve compression syndromes involving respectively the median nerve at the wrist and the posterior interosseous nerve at the elbow. Only one previous instance of nerve compression due to this condition has been described, involving the ulnar nerve at the elbow. In one of our cases the disease process was at an early stage in its natural history and in the other at an advanced stage. The occurrence of nerve compression was related to the site rather than the stage of the disease. Full recovery followed local excision with decompression of the peripheral nerve involved.
