Sangruchi T A 40-year-old woman with bilateral high radial nerve compressions by non-traumatic
cause was reported.
It
occurred first at the right radial nerve which was explored after a period of
investigation and conservative treatment. Two constricted sites 2.0 em apart of the right radial
nerve crossed by branches of the radial collateral artery beneath the lateral head of the triceps
were found. The constricted sites including tissue in between was resected and replaced with a
sural nerve graft. One year later the patient had the same episode on the left side. The operative
finding was the same as the previous one. Sural nerve graft was performed after neurolysis had
failed. The patient's normal radial nerve function returned in one year. This is the first reported
case in the literature of bilateral high radial nerve compressions by branches of the radial collateral
artery.
Key word : Radial Nerve, Compression Neuropathy
