title: [Pathogenesis and therapy of nontraumatic compressive radial nerve paralyses--report of an unusual case].
abstract: A case of nontraumatic radial nerve palsy at the level of the canalis spiralis is reported. Aetiologically a variation of branching of this nerve combined with an inflammatory swelling is discussed. After the surgical treatment a satisfactory recovery of motor function was seen. The necessity for a careful and thorough examination is demonstrated to diagnose or localise such non-traumatic lesions.
