Abstract

Purpose: We want to report on one patient who presented with lateral forearm pain caused by compression neuropathy of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve. Materials and Methods: A female patient was managed by operative treatment (biceps tenoplasty) after failure with conservative treatment for 6 weeks. One year later, we evaluated the clinical symptoms and biceps tendon problems such as supination weakness or rupture after the tenoplasty. Results: Her symptom completely subsided immediately at the first postoperative day and her recovery was uneventful. Supination weakness and rupture of the distal biceps tendon were not found after the operation. Conclusion: We have reported here on a case of successful management of lateral antebrachial cutaneous neuropathy by performing biceps tenoplasty, along with a review of the previously published articles.

목적: 외측 상완 표피 신경증에 의한 전완부 외측부 통증을 주소로 내원한 환자를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 한명의 여성 환자를 적어도 6주 정도의 보존적인 치료로 조절되지 않아 이두박건 성형술로 치료하였다. 술 후 1년 지나 임상증상을 관찰하고 이두박건 성형술 후 회외전력의 약화나 파열 소견이 있는지 조사하였다. 결과: 술 후 즉시 임상 증상은 소실되었으며 회복 과정에서 특이한 문제는 없었다. 회외전력의 약화소견이나 원위 이두박건의 파열도 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 외측 상완표피 신경증을 이두박건 성형술로 성공적으로 치료한 증례를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
