Abstract |
Anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) syndrome is a pure motor syndrome resulting in characteristic weakness of pinch between the thumb and index finger. Different etiologies such as spontaneous, traumatic, compression are suggested, but remain controversial. To our knowledge, a case of neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) presenting as predominant AIN palsy after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery have not been reported yet. Hence, we report the case of a 34-year-old man who presented with thumb weakness and was diagnosed with AIN palsy due to NA. |
