Entrapment neuropathies at the elbow are common in clinical practice and require an accurate diagnosis for effective management. Understanding the imaging characteristics of these conditions is essential for confirming diagnoses and identifying underlying causes. Ultrasound serves as the primary imaging modality for evaluating nerve structure and movement, while MRI is superior for detecting muscle denervation.

Objective: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is caused by compression of the neurovascular bundle at the thoracic outlet which often poses a diagnostic challenge. Patient management is often based on surgeon choice and experience. This study aims to describe practices relating to the diagnosis and management of TOS in the UK over a 1-year period.

Background: We sought to determine the diagnostic utility of the flexion-compression (F-C) test for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Using electrodiagnostic testing as the gold standard, we hypothesized that the F-C test would be a better diagnostic test for CTS as compared to the wrist flexion (Phalen's) or palmar compression (Durkan's) tests alone.
Methods: We studied patients who presented with and without CTS symptoms, designated as study and control group patients, respectively.
Compression of the Ulnar Nerve Following Carpal Tunnel Release.

Given the proximity and shared structures of Guyon's canal and the carpal tunnel, compression of the ulnar nerve is a rarely observed but possible complication of carpal tunnel release. In this case report, a patient underwent previous carpal tunnel release and immediately experienced ipsilateral hand weakness in keeping with an ulnar nerve compression syndrome. Clinical, electrodiagnostic, and magnetic resonance imaging findings after carpal tunnel release demonstrated a compression or injury to the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve not previously present.

Intrapericardial teratoma is a rare tumor that usually presents in neonates or during infancy because of the associated high degree of pericardial effusion, cardiac compression and severe respiratory distress. In this paper, we report a rare case of intrapericardial teratoma that was incidentally discovered in an infant with superior vena cava obstruction following pericardial effusion absorption. Echocardiography and thoracic computed tomography angiography revealed that the intrapericardial mass obviously suppressed the superior vena cava.
