A case of radial nerve palsy (Paralysis n. Radialis)

Abstract

The history of the disease. Patient, student of the Faculty of Law of Kazan University, B, 22 years old. I applied to the clinic on January 21, 1911 with complaints of lack of movement in the wrist and fingers of the left hand, sensation of cold and onѣmeniya in the same hand up to half of the shoulder, inclusive. The patient tells the following about the beginning of his illness: on January 4, 1911, after standing for 1/2 hour on a sharp wooden railing with his left hand, just the outer side of his shoulder, he felt cold, he felt a chill in his hand and a feeling of chills; I wanted to straighten my jacket, but I could not, since the hand and fingers of my left hand did not function well enough. While standing, I did not feel anything and calmly talked to those around him (it happened in the people's house). Before dark alcohol did not drink and was completely healthy. Two days before that (January 1 and 2), the patient had a runny nose, cough and a slight fever, but he felt good.
