Abstract
Neuropathies of the elbow represent a spectrum of disorders that involve more frequently
the ulnar, radial, and median nerves. Reported multiple pathogenic factors include
mechanical compression, trauma, inflammatory conditions, infections, as well as tumor-like
and neoplastic processes. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of these peripheral
nerves is crucial because clinical symptoms and imaging findings depend on which components
of the affected nerve are involved. Correlating clinical history with the imaging
manifestations of these disorders requires familiarity across all diagnostic modalities.
This understanding allows for a targeted imaging work-up that can lead to a prompt
and accurate diagnosis.
