Authors would like to present a case of an uncommon entrapment syndrome of the anterior antebrachial interosseal nerve ("The Kiloh-Nevin syndrome). Patient was first examined by an ambulatory neurologist. EMG verified minimal neuropathic finding of the median nerve and clinical presentation first lead to the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. After a neurosurgical consult on the authors departement we found the corresponding clinical presentation misleading including the EMG presentation. Newly recommended EMG uncovered anterior antebrachial interosseal nerve neuropathy (Kiloh-Nevin syndrome). After a failed conservative therapy, patient underwent a surgical intervention with a good outcome.
