Abstract

Median mononeuropathy is common, with carpal tunnel syndrome the most frequently encountered acquired mononeuropathy in clinical practice. However, other disorders of the median nerve and many known anatomical variants can lead to misdiagnosis and unexpected surgical complications if their presence is not correctly identified. A number of inherited and acquired disorders can affect the median nerve proximal to the wrist, alone or accompanied by other affected peripheral nerves. Recognizing other disorders that can masquerade as median mononeuropathies can avoid misdiagnosis and misguided management. This chapter explores median nerve anatomical variants, disorders, and lesions, emphasizing the need for careful examination and electrodiagnostic study in the localization of median neuropathy.

其他正中神经病。

正中神经单神经病很常见，腕管综合征是临床上最常见的获得性单神经病。然而，如果不能正确识别正中神经的其他疾病和许多已知的解剖变异，就可能导致误诊和意想不到的手术并发症。许多遗传性和获得性疾病都可能影响腕部近端正中神经，单独或伴有其他受影响的周围神经。识别可能伪装成正中神经单神经病变的其他疾病可以避免误诊和误治。本章探讨了正中神经的解剖变异、失调和病变，强调了在正中神经病变的定位过程中进行仔细检查和电诊断研究的必要性。

期刊介绍： The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
