Neuralgic amyotrophy manifesting as anterior interosseous nerve palsy

Muscle Nerve. 1980 Mar-Apr;3(2):160-4. doi: 10.1002/mus.880030209.

Abstract

Neuralgic amyotrophy may present as a picture of anterior interosseous nerve palsy. In such a case, rather than a lesion of the nerve in the forearm, we offer indirect evidence of a lesion in the brachial plexus affecting discrete fiber bundles destined to form the anterior interosseous nerve.
