Bilateral position-related ulnar neuropathy at elbow in pediatric population and review of the literature

Original language description

Perioperative ulnar neuropathies attributed to inappropriate arm positioning and padding during surgical procedures are commonly found in adults. However, their extremely rare incidence in the pediatric population may cause absent awareness of the risk of nerve injury in anesthetized pediatric patients. Furthermore, young patients respond to conservative treatment of neuropathy less favorably than adults and their response also depends on the pathomechanism of the ulnar nerve injury. A surgeon&apos;s or anesthetist&apos;s failure to recognize all of these specifics in children may result in substantial morbidity of young patients leading to lawsuits. Fortunately, with an adequate knowledge of surgical anatomy and types of procedures and positions in which the ulnar nerve is particularly vulnerable, and familiarity with measures to minimize the potential for neuropathy, this serious complication can be prevented. The aims of this review are to highlight personal experience and current knowledge of the rare position-related ulnar neuropathy, both from a clinical and anatomical-pathophysiological perspective, and to raise awareness about this rare but serious complication in the pediatric population.
