Paralysis of the anterior inter-bone nerve. Nevin-Kiloh syndrome. Presentation of a case

Abstract

We present the case of a white, male patient, with healthy antecedents, working as a car washer in a bus parking lot. He comes to our consult referring a flexional functional impotence of the thumb interphalanx joint and of the distal interphalanx of the left hand second finger already for three months, without any other symptom, making him impossible to do some works he did before. We made a physical and complementary examination, and diagnosed the paralysis of the anterior inter-bone nerve ( Nevin- Kiloh syndrome). After three months of conservative treatment, we decided the surgical intervention of the patient, performing a tendon transposition. Two months after surgery, the lost functions have been recovered. The evolution was satisfactory. We reviewed the literature.
