Comparative Study
Anatomical and ultrasound correlation of the superficial branch of the radial nerve.
This anatomical study evaluates the role and correlation of ultrasound (US) with anatomy in depicting the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) and to evaluate the feasibility of US guided perineural infiltration as a potential therapeutic option in Wartenberg syndrome. ⋯ With US it is possible to examine and differentiate all segments of the SBRN. US guidance can be used for perineural injection of all relevant segments.

The first episode of hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) in childhood is rare. ⋯ Clinical suspicion of HNPP even when nerve conduction study results do not fulfill HNPP criteria should indicate genetic testing. In our patients, early-onset HNPP was associated frequently with isoleucine92valine LITAF polymorphism.
