Abstract

Nerve torsion is a rare condition that causes sensory abnormalities and decreased muscle strength due to a nerve-twisting phenomenon in the peripheral nerves. To date, the progression of the condition from its cause to diagnosis and treatment has not been established. The authors report three cases of good results from the treatment of nerve torsion in the anterior interosseous and radial nerves with epineurotomy and neurolysis.

신경 염전은 말초 신경에서 발생하는 신경 꼬임 현상으로 인해 감각이상 및 근력 저하를 보이는 드문 질환이며 현재까지 발생 원인부터 진단 및 치료까지 정립된 바가 없다. 본 저자들은 전골간 신경 및 요골 신경의 신경 염전을 신경 외막 절제 및 신경 유리술 술식으로 치료하여 좋은 결과를 얻은 세 개의 증례를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
