Cutaneous Branch

The anatomical course of the palmar cutaneous nerve was studied in ten cadavers and classified into six zones or sites. The literature on entrapment neuropathy of the palmar cutaneous nerve was then reviewed and the cases were classified according to the anatomical site of compression.

A case of isolated entrapment of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve is presented. At operation, a ganglion compressing the nerve within its tunnel was found. Symptoms were relieved with no recurrence at 2 years after decompression and excision of the ganglion.

Lateral Cutaneous Nerve

Ten forearm and hand specimens from fresh cadavers were dissected and examined under magnification for articular branches to the trapeziometacarpal joint arising from the thenar and palmar cutaneous branches of the median nerve, the superficial branch of the radial nerve and the lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. In all but one specimen the thenar branch of the median nerve sent an articular branch to the trapeziometacarpal joint. Multiple branches from the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve, the superficial branch of the radial nerve and the lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm were also found. All these branches need to be divided during a “complete” denervation of the trapeziometacarpal joint.

Monofilament Test

A case of the entrapment neuropathy of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve, concomitant with carpal tunnel syndrome is presented. This report demonstrates that the Semmes–Weinstein monofilament test and nerve conduction studies can identify entrapment of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve concomitant with carpal tunnel syndrome.

AbstractWe report an unusual anatomical variant of the palmar cutaneous branch (PCB) of the median nerve in a 46-year-old man presenting with recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome. At surgery, after neurolysis, the PCB was visualized arising at the level of the proximal margin of the transverse carpal ligament, mimicking the appearance of the recurrent motor branch. To date, there has been no description of this branch arising at this level. We aim to remind surgeons of this variation and highlight the importance of maintaining vigilance to avoid iatrogenic nerve injury.
