So this is a very interesting case.
0:02
This is a radiologist
0:05
and, um, he had gotten remarried,
0:09
he had lost his wife and was all excited about it.
0:11
Went on his honeymoon
0:14
and, um, he played, interestingly,
0:17
I'm not sure I would marry him.
0:19
He played two 18 holes of golf over a period
0:24
of about 14 hours on his honeymoon.
0:27
Um, then the next day he played a single 18 holes of golf
0:32
and then he went back to his room and they honeymooned.
0:36
Um, they went to sleep.
0:37
And when he woke up, he said his arm, uh, felt funny
0:41
and he also reported that his arm felt funny
0:43
before, uh, he went to sleep that evening.
0:46
He was on Eliquis, um, which we didn't know at the time.
0:49
We looked at this. And then when he went out
0:52
to play golf again, um, not the best way to to
0:56
to start a marriage out on the golf course the entire time,
1:00
uh, he couldn't grip the golf club.
1:03
And, uh, here we see his pronator, Terrys here.
1:07
So this is not a friction neuropathy this time,
1:10
but we do see the median nerve right here.
1:12
And in the lung axis you're gonna see how it
1:14
sits in very close proximity and,
1:17
and was compressed for a period of time by the head
1:22
of his new wife.
1:24
So we, we are postulating that he had a small tear, uh,
1:28
the wife's head rested on his arm.
1:30
He, he didn't want to tell his wife, his new wife,
1:33
that her head was too heavy, so he went to sleep
1:35
and that's how you get honeymoon paralysis.
1:38
And indeed he had it.
1:40
Um, and that is a name that is reported in the literature.
1:43
Cute little name. Let's look at the,
1:45
let's look at the long axis projection.
1:47
You can see this hematoma right here.
1:49
And then as you follow the ulnar nerve down right there,
1:52
it kind of dives right next to the hematoma.
1:56
And I suspect that it was a combination
1:58
of the mass effect from the hematoma
2:01
and the head of the new spouse that produced a,
2:05
a neuropraxia in this case.
2:07
Um, so this is my case of Pronator, Terri syndrome,
2:11
even though it is not a repetitive friction neuropathy.
2:14
And with that, I'm gonna turn it over to Dr.
2:18
Resnick and, um, we'll conclude.
