title: Isolated lesion of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm.
abstract: Because of its location in the antecubital fossa, the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm is at risk of injury when a person is carrying objects with the forearm flexed or during venipuncture. Injury to this nerve, however, is rarely reported. A case report of traumatic injury to the lateral cutaneous nerve, the use of appropriate nerve conduction studies for diagnosis, and a discussion of the available literature is presented.
