Supracondylar Process

We present a case of a 46-year-old male presenting with a 10 year history of pain and paraesthesia in the median nerve distribution together with a palpable lump in the upper arm. X-rays confirmed a supracondylar process of the humerus. Intra-operatively it was found that there was an aberrant insertion of one of the heads of pronater teres from the process. After surgical removal of the process and release of the head of pronator teres his symptoms improved.

Fine Print

✓ A case of median nerve entrapment at the elbow by a non-osseous fibrous ligament (Struthers) is presented. A relatively simple surgical procedure with ligament division afforded complete relief of symptoms. The existence of Struthers' ligament without a bony supracondylar process is reaffirmed, and the historical background of its identification outlined.

Septic Condition

Two cases are reported of acute median nerve compression due to calcium pyrophosphate deposition in the wrist, masquerading as a septic condition. There have been recent reports in the literature of the effects of calcium pyrophosphate in joints of the upper limb (Resnick 1983 and Hensley, 1983) These conditions are uncommon and the presentation and initial symptomatology of our case led in the first patient to misdiagnosis and an unnecessary operation, which was avoided in the second case.

Different Levels

✓ A rare case of peripheral-nerve compression in the upper arm caused by a spontaneous venous aneurysm is reported. The apparent dysfunction of the median nerve led to various vain surgical explorations of the nerve at different levels. The real localization of nerve entrapment was identified by a thorough clinical examination, and sonography yielded a correct diagnosis. Surgical resection of the venous aneurysm resulted in complete relief of pain. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a spontaneous venous malformation in the upper arm causing focal neuropathy.
