title: Unusual compression neuropathies of the forearm, part II: median nerve.
abstract: We have previously discussed compression neuropathies of the radial nerve in the forearm. In the second half of this 2-part review, we will now turn our attention to 2 compression neuropathies affecting the proximal median nerve, before its entry through the carpal tunnel: (1) pronator syndrome and (2) anterior interosseous nerve syndrome.
