ÖZET
Cheiralgia parestetika, radiyal sinirin yüzeyel dalının ön kolda
sıkışmasıdır. Bu sinir hasarı sıklıkla doğrudan travma veya kompresyon
sonrası ortaya çıksa da tekrarlayan ön kol rotasyon hareketlerinin sonucu
da olabilir. Hastalık distal ön kol ve elde ağrı, yanma ve karıncalanma
hissi gibi bulgular ile ortaya çıkar. Tanıda elektromiyelografiden
yararlanılabilir. Ultrason, sinir sıkışmasını göstermenin uygun bir yöntemidir.
Tedavi çoğunlukla konservatif olmakla birlikte dirençli olgularda
cerrahi eksplorasyon bir seçenektir. Burada, meslekle ilişkili
tekrarlayan ön kol rotasyonu nedeniyle radiyal sinirin üst dalına bası
olan 46 yaşında bir kadın tarım işçisi olgusu sunulmaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Cheiralgia parestetika; radiyal sinir; ön kol ağrısı
ABSTRACT
Cheiralgia paresthetica is the entrapment of the superficial
branch of the radial nerve in the forearm. Although this nerve damage
frequently occurs after direct trauma or compression, it may also be
the result of repetitive forearm rotation movements. It occurs with
symptoms such as pain, burning and tingling sensations in the distal
forearm and hand. Electromyelography can be used for diagnosis. Ultrasound
is a feasible method of showing nerve compression. Although
treatment is mostly conservative, surgical exploration is an option for
resistant cases. The case is here presented of a 46-year old female agricultural
worker with compression of the superior branch of the radial
nerve due to occupation-related repetitive forearm rotation.
Keywords: Cheiralgia paresthetica; radial nerve; forearm pain
