Core Tip

Core Tip: We report the first case of bilateral musculocutaneous neuropathy after vigorous stretching of both upper extremities with normal results of sensory nerve action potential. We recommend clinicians be aware of this rare condition that can occur bilaterally. In addition, the interpretation of aberrant electrodiagnostic study results of this case is discussed.
