Abstract

The Superficial Branch of the Radial Nerve (SBRN) in the forearm usually has a constant course, but sometimes there may be differences in its course and position. This report is about a case of difference in the normal course of this nerve. Normally, in the forearm, the SBRN passes between the brachioradialis muscle tendon and the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus (ECRL) to become superficial. In this case, the SBRN passed through the brachioradialis tendon instead of passing between the brachioradialis muscle tendon and the ECRL. The position and course of this nerve can be very important for surgeons, radiologists, and physiotherapists in diagnosing and treating Wartenberg’s syndrome and others.
