We report on three patients with radial nerve compression in the region of the supinator muscle caused by an occult ganglion. After excision of the ganglion and decompression of the posterior interosseous nerve, the nerve palsy resolved completely in all cases.

Posterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy

Some tumors or tumorous conditions causing posterior interosseous nerve palsy are well documented, but myositis ossificans causing the palsy of this nerve has not been described. We present a case of posterior interosseous nerve palsy caused by myositis ossificans of the supinator muscle.

Posterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy

Injuries to the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) appear to be very uncommon in children. In this paper, the authors describe a 9-year-old boy with a radial malunion and radial head instability that resulted in PIN compression. Surgical decompression via transection of the overlying supinator muscle with correction of the radial deformity and instability resulted in complete return of PIN function. The clinician should be aware of anterior dislocation of the radial head as a cause of PIN injury. Based on the authors' experience, nerve decompression and correction of the bone deformity result in return of normal PIN function.

Posterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy

Background: Intramuscular myxomas are rare, benign mesenchymal tumors in the musculoskeletal system, and usually, the tumors arise in the large muscles of the thigh, buttocks, shoulder, and upper arm. However, a tumor of the forearm is very rare. Herein, we describe the case of an intramuscular myxoma in the supinator muscle of a 56-year-old female patient. Case Presentation: Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined mass that was hypointense with the peritumoral fat ring sign. The differential diagnoses might have been myxoma, schwannoma, or intramuscular hemangioma. The histopathological image showed abundant myxoid tissue, hypocellularity, and poor vascularization. The cells of the tumor were spindle and stellate-shaped with normochromic nuclei. Based on these findings, the pathological diagnosis was an intramuscular myxoma. After excising the tumor, the patient had transient posterior interosseous nerve palsy. Conclusion: This tumor is curative by resection in toto; however, when the tumor exists in the forearm, surgeons should be careful to avoid damaging surrounding tissues because the tumor is very hard and relatively large compared to the forearm.

Supinator Muscle

Ganglions associated with radial nerve palsy at two different locations were identified at the elbow in 14 patients. The first type, found in 13 patients, arose from the anterior capsule of the proximal radioulnar joint and was located proximal to the proximal edge of the supinator muscle. It compressed the main radial nerve anteriorly. The second type, which has not been reported before in patients without abnormalities in the elbow joint, was found in the remaining patient. It was located in the supinator muscle, distal to the proximal edge of the supinator muscle, and compressed the posterior interosseous nerve against the proximal radius. Magnetic resonance imaging makes it possible to identify ganglions in a wide area around the elbow. This examination should be carried out in view of the possible presence of both types of ganglion. Magnetic resonance imaging also provides more accurate information than computed tomography or ultrasonography about the location and characteristics of the mass.
