Acute posterior interosseous nerve palsy caused by bleeding from an arteriovenous malformation.
A fifteen-year-old boy with a long-standing history of congenital arteriovenous malformation in his left arm was seen with an acute posterior interosseous nerve palsy. Exploration showed this to be caused by bleeding from a congenital arteriovenous malformation in the radial tunnel. Decompression and evacuation of the haematoma resulted in full recovery.
