Three cases of isolated musculocutaneous neuropathy that were related to heavy physical activity are reported. The condition was predominantly motor, and each patient presented with weakness and loss of the normal contour of the biceps muscle. Recovery was complete in two cases, while the third case was left with residual weakness of the biceps muscle. It is postulated that the neuropathy in such cases is due to entrapment or stretching of the nerve where it passes through the coracobrachialis muscle in the upper arm. The condition should be distinguished from rupture of the biceps muscle belly or tendon, from brachial plexopathy and from cervical radiculopathies.
报告了3例与剧烈体力活动相关的孤立性肌皮神经病变。该病症主要为运动性，每位患者均表现为肱二头肌无力及正常轮廓消失。2例完全恢复，而第3例肱二头肌仍残留无力。据推测，此类病例中的神经病变是由于神经在上臂穿过喙肱肌处受到卡压或牵拉所致。该病症应与肱二头肌肌腹或肌腱断裂、臂丛神经病变及颈椎病性神经根病相鉴别。
