Rare Tumors Causing Median Nerve Compression in Adults-A Narrative Review.

The median nerve can be compressed due to a tumor along the course of the median nerve, causing typical compression symptoms or even persistence or recurrence after an operation. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of rare tumors described in recent publications that cause median nerve compression and to evaluate treatment options. The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched for studies describing median nerve compression due to a tumor in adults, published from the year 2000 and written in English.

Anatomic Variations and Malformations as Rare Causes of Median Nerve Compression in Adults: A Narrative Review.

Objective: The median nerve can become compressed at multiple points in the arm, causing carpal tunnel-, pronator-, anterior interosseous-, or lacertus syndrome. Anatomical variations are potential reasons of persisting or recurrent symptoms of median nerve compression and are often recognized late. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive list of rare anatomical variations and malformations causing median nerve compression.
