ABSTRACT
Pronator syndrome (PS) is a rare type of peripheral compression neuropathy in which the median nerve becomes entrapped as it passes through the pronator teres muscle at the proximal forearm. We report an unusual case of acute PS in a 78-year-old patient on warfarin who presented after traumatic forearm injury with forearm swelling, pain, and paresthesias. After emergent nerve decompression and hematoma evacuation, the patient regained near complete recovery of median nerve function six months after diagnosis and treatment.
