Abstract

Bilateral injuries of the sensory branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) usually occur as a result of tight-handcuff neuropathy. In this case we aimed to present bilateral isolated cut of SBRN resulting an injury mechanism that has not been reported in the literature previously. A male twentyfour years old, a worker in a glass factory, presented to our clinic. The dorsolateral skin of his wrists were cut by breaking of the glass as a result of occupational accident and was primarily sutured in a healthcare center. The patient sought additional care after a month because of lingering numbness and pain, and surgery was planned. During surgery, scar tissue and neuroma at the cut ends of SBRN were excised, and bilateral SBRN cuts were repaired. Four weeks after operation, mild sensory deficit on the dorsal side of bilateral thumbs, and left first web space and flexion limitation on the right wrist were detected. At the 3rd month postoperative, right wrist joint range of motion was full, and sensory deficits, and hyperesthesia were decreased. The SBRN elicits the sensory innervation of the thumb dorsum and its injury does not cause important functional deficit. However because of susceptibility of SBRN to develop painful neuroma, diagnosis, treatment and follow up of isolated SBRN injury would be worthwhile for prevention of possible painful neuropathy disturbing quality of life.

Özet

Radial sinir duyusal dalının (RSDD) iki taraflı yaralanmaları genellikle sıkı takılmış kelepçe nöropatisi sonucunda oluşur. Bu yazıda daha önce literatürde bildirilmemiş yaralanma mekanizması ile oluşan iki taraflı izole RSDD kesisinin sunulması amaçlandı. Yirmi dört yaşında cam fabrikasında işçi erkek hasta sunuldu. İş kazası sonucu cam kırılması ile el bilekleri dorsolateralinde oluşan cilt kesisi, başvurduğu sağlık merkezinde primer dikilmiş. Hasta 1 ay sonra geçmeyen hissizlik ve ağrı nedeniyle plastik ve rekonstrüktif cerrahi bölümüne başvurdu ve cerrahi planlandı. Cerrahi sırasında gözlenen skar doku ve RSDD kesik uçlarında oluşan nöroma temizlendi ve iki taraflı RSDD kesisi tamir edildi. Hastanın fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon bölümündeki fiziksel incelemesinde, iki taraflı başparmak dorsal yüzünde ve sol 1. web aralığında hafif duyusal kayıp ve sağ el bileği fleksiyonunda kısıtlılık olduğu saptandı. Ameliyat sonrası 3. ay incelemede sağ el bileği eklem hareket açıklığı tam, duyusal defisitler ve hiperestezi azalmıştı. RSDD başparmak dorsalinin duyusunu sağlar, o nedenle yaralanması önemli fonksiyonel kayıba neden olmaz. Ancak, RSDD’nin ağrılı nöroma gelişimine yatkınlığı nedeniyle, izole RSDD yaralanmasının tanı, tedavi ve takibinin yapılması yaşam kalitesini bozan olası ağrılı nöropatinin önlemesi için faydalı olacaktır.
