Abstract

Isolated musculocutaneous neuropathy is frequently associated with superior truncus lesions of brachial plexus and appears rarely. Musculocutaneous nerve palsy may occur in two patterns: proximal and distal injury. Proximal injury may cause motor and sensory deficits, but distal injury primarily causes sensory deficits. In our patient, neurologic symptoms were insignificant and electrophysiologic methods were very helpful for locating the lesion. Herein, we report a case of isolated distal branch musculocutaneous nerve injury with very occult clinical symptoms that resulted from a surgical procedure.

Özet

İzole muskülokutanöz nöropati, sıklıkla brakial pleksus süperior trunkus lezyonlarına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkmakta ve nadir görülmektedir. Muskülokutanöz sinir paralizisi proksimal ve distal olmak üzere iki şekilde karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Proksimal hasar motor ve duysal kayba yol açarken, distal hasar öncelikli olarak duysal kayıpla sonuçlanır. Burada, cerrahi işlem sonrası oluşan ve silik klinik semptomlarla ortaya çıkan izole distal muskülokutanöz sinir hasarı saptanan bir olgu sunulmuştur. Hastamızda nörolojik semptom ve bulgular oldukça silik iken elektrofizyolojik çalışmaların lezyon lokalizasyonunun saptanmasında son derece yardımcı olması benzer durumlarda elektrofizyolojik değerlendirmenin önemini göstermektedir.
