Abstrakt: Purpose: This study aims to discuss the diagnosis and management of radial nerve compression neuropathy in the newborn.
Methods: A personal case is presented, followed by a review and analysis of clinically similar cases identified via a PubMed search of published medical literature.
Results: We report a case of a term newborn with bilateral radial neuropathy at the humerus level. Despite severe axonal involvement in the electrophysiological evaluation, the patient showed complete bilateral recovery after 3 months of follow-up.
Conclusions: Isolated radial nerve palsy is a rare event in the newborn. The condition does not require surgical treatment and usually proceeds to full and rapid spontaneous recovery.
