[Wartenberg syndrome, caused by a split tendon of the brachioradialis muscle. A report of a rare anatomic variation]. / Wartenberg-Syndrom, verursacht durch eine zweigeteilte Sehne des M. brachioradialis. Ein Bericht über eine seltene anatomische Varietät.

We report a case of radial sensory nerve entrapment caused by a variation of the brachioradialis tendon. The nerve passed through the split tendon and gliding was hindered at this level. After resection of the supernumerary dorsal part of the tendon, relief of pain could be achieved in the 40-year-old patient.

[The significance of electromyography in detecting myopathies in functional disorders of the thyroid gland]. / Die Bedeutung der Elektromyographie bei der Erfassung von Myopathien bei Funktionsstörungen der Schilddrüse.

This paper reviews the value and limits of electrophysiological techniques for the detection of myopathies in disorders of thyroid gland. The electromyographic patterns are described and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the myopathies are discussed. The establishment of a relationship between the described electrophysiological patterns and the clinical, morphological and biochemical findings is attempted.
