INTERVAL HISTQRY:
This is a 41 yr old Caucasian gen�leman�hat I saw previously ane time in my clinic M�y, 2011_ At that time
he was experiencing nedc pain radiabrtg in left upper extremity. His�MG showed a let�C6-C7 radic�lopat�+y,
mild,chronic. He had surgery ur�Dr. Mclver and ini�a�ry got good r�l�ef of symptoms.
Then later on-Nov 2017 h�d symptom reccurence and was found tn have neuv disc herniation at C5-G6.
Ne tranSfen'�d h�s c�re to Dr AAorg�n 02/2Ul2012-at that tune the left arm pajn yvas the most prorninent
symptom
April 19. 2012 had surgery with pr. AAorgart wiFh removat of anterior ven�ical instrum�rrta#ion. Corr�p�ain at
that time iriduded neck Rain radisting in right shoulder and also in ieft�upper e�ctremity.
He te11s me that in Juiy of thi�year had an altert�ti�with polece,was handcuf�ed, question neck injury,

normal sirength in both upper e�ctremities but had compl�ints of wadicu�ar pain, neck pain, buming in the
finc�ertips bitaterally. Surgery was c:amplieai�ed by aspua#ivn pn�umonia and r�espiratory failure and he was
intubated�from 08/16-OB123_ He te�fs`me that vaf�en fte wok�up fiom coma he had swel!€r�g in his right hand
and farearm and bruising. He feels he may have been in restraints_ Me noticed tttat his right hsnd was weak
an�he specifically showed me that he was not abl��make the pinoer grasp with his thumb and index. Ne
aisa reports numbness more in some in d;git one and two on

They rate weakness is 3!5 for flnger flexion and abduction_

Patients that riave diabetic neuropathy are mor�s prone to compress;ve neuropathies.
In fact this patient had a radial gutse he h�d the�xiHS wt�ile uvearing crutches in�010 from whi�h he made

He does not have median neuropa�y at the wrist.

inneNated muscles PT/FCR�nd at AIN innervated musc�s. Dependi�g an findings-we can consider
imaging the arm and forearm looking for struciural lesion as would be a hematoma or lyony
spur lligamentous structures. Will also help with prognosis to see there is any evidence of reinnervafion . If
a structu�al lesion is fi�und Ehen nenre exploratia�we will make sense.
If no sfructural lesion is faund on irnaging than is reasonablQ Co attribute to this ta compr�ession ancf managed

1. MRI RIGHT ELSOW WITHOUT CONTRAST
2. MRI RIGHT FOREARM WITHOUT CONTRAST
INDICATION: Right median neuropathy
TECHNIQUE: Routine.
COMPARISON: MRI humerus from 10/25/2012
FINDINGS: There is marked T2 hyperintensity and slight enlargement of the
median nerve from the visualized mid humeral diaphysis extending to the
level of the elbow into the forearm. This signal abnormality extends the
length of the fvrearm to the carpal tunnel (series 12 imaaes 9 through 12,
series 14 images 3 through 30) . There is prominent fascicular pattern of
the median nerve throughout its visualized course. There is T2
hyperintensity and atrophy of the flexor digitorum profundus and
superficialis muscles within the forearm along with the pronator quadratus.
Pronator teres muscle also demonstrates T2 hyperintensity. Evaluation of
the MRI of the humerus demonstrates a sirailar T2 hyperintensity and
enlargement of the right median nerve ex�ending from the level of the
glencid through the proximal humerus seen on series 5 image 27 of that
study.
� There is medial dislocation of the ulnar nerve from the cubital tunnel
(series 4 image 26, series 5 image 30, series 6 image 30} . There is
irr.egularity of the surrounding soft tissue planes and apparent disruption
of the ligament of Osborne. Finding may represent postoperative changes of
ulnar nerve translocation. Clinical correlation suggested. There is
increased T2 signal and enlargement of the ulnar nerve involving a segment
which extends from the medial humeral epicondyles to the level of the ulnar
trochlea.
No NIRI findings to suggest abnormal soft tissue masses within the
visualized distal upper arm and forearm. No MRI findings of abnormal stress
reaction or fracture within visualized distal humerus or radius and ulna.
No significant elbow joint effusion.
CONCLUSION:
l. Marked T2 hyperintensity, enlargement, �nd prominent fascicular pattern
of the median nerve from the level of the bony glenoid extending distally
to the carpal tunnel. Given the extent of the abnormality and MRI
appearance, findings favor an inflammatory neuropathy such as CIDP.
Differential includes neural injury in this patient who is status post

unspecified injury. Unfortunately, contrast was not administered secondary
to difficulty with the examination. Post contrast images could be obtained
of the median nerve within the forearm to eJaluate for subtle perineural
enhancement, as would be seen with CIDP.
2. Marked denervation changes in a median nerve distribution involving the
pronator teres, pronator quadratus, and flexor digitorum muscles within the
forearm.
3. Medial dislocation of the ulnar nerve with focal T2 hyperintensity and
