Nov 8, 2023 · Description. Compression mononeuropathy of the superficial branch of radial nerve in the distal forearm. Radial nerve, arises from C5–8, provides motor function to the extensors of the forearm, wrist, and fingers. Provides motor function for supinators of forearm. Superficial radial nerve provides sensory function to posterior forearm via ...

Medical professionals typically use it to test nerve sensitivity ...
This sign could be confused with Wartenberg Syndrome or Cheralgia Paresthetica, in which the Superficial radial nerve becomes compressed as it comes superficial at brachioradialis and ECRB interval in distal forearm causing sensory disturbance, it’s characterized by pain and tenderness 1 to 2 cm proximal to the radial styloid, and radicular ...
Aug 31, 2010 · The peripheral nerves of the upper limb are affected by a number of entrapment and compression neuropathies. These discrete syndromes involve the brachial plexus as well as the musculocutaneous, axillary, suprascapular, ulnar, radial, and median nerves. Clinical examination and electrophysiologic studies are the traditional mainstay of diagnostic work-up; however, ultrasonography and magnetic ...
Apr 26, 1994 · Key points. • Walker-Warburg syndrome is part of a spectrum of presentations within dystroglycanopathies. It is closely related to muscle-eye-brain disease and Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy as they all share many characteristics. • Neuronal migration disorder with cobblestone malformation is the most typical expression.
