Fourteen patients with brachioradial pruritus are described. In six patients the right arm was involved, in three the left arm, and in five both arms. In four of five patients so examined there was roentgenographic evidence of cervical vertebral osteoarthritis. Although sun exposure may be of etiologic importance, some, or perhaps most, cases may be due to nerve injury, either secondary to lesions of the cervical spine or perhaps resulting from nerve compression by other structures.
本文描述了14例肱桡肌瘙痒症患者。其中6例右侧手臂受累，3例左侧手臂受累，5例双侧手臂受累。在接受检查的5例患者中，有4例有颈椎骨关节炎的X线证据。虽然日晒可能在病因学上具有重要意义，但部分或可能大多数病例可能是由于神经损伤，其继发于颈椎病变，或者可能是由其他结构对神经的压迫所致。
