[Bifid median nerve as a coincidental finding in traumatology : Case report and review of the literature]. / Bifider N. medianus als Zufallsbefund in der Traumatologie : Fallbericht und Literaturübersicht.

ABSTRACT

The median nerve is an important sensory and motor nerve of the arm and is not infrequently associated with diagnostic and therapeutic misjudgements. A bifid median nerve as a coincidental finding in traumatology is another rarity and is mostly found during various elective procedures, such as carpal tunnel splitting. We report on a patient with a bifid median nerve who sustained a laceration wound near the carpal tunnel due to a domestic accident.
