Congenital compression of the radial nerve.
Congenital dysfunction of a major peripheral nerve is unusual. Most cases are the result of amniotic banding or abnormal uterine activity during labor. When this problem is associated with constricting bands the results of treatment are not well reported in the literature and seem somewhat unpredictable. We report a case of congenital compression of the radial nerve and review the literature.
