Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome with atypical nerve course in relation to the pronator teres.
A case of anterior interosseous nerve palsy is demonstrated due to an anatomical variation not recorded before causing this syndrome. Main median-nerve trunk and anterior interosseous nerve passed differently in relation to the pronator teres muscle. Surgery led to a rapid recovery of nerve function.
