“…Saxena et al 17 reported that during routine dissection they found the presence of Gantzer muscle bilaterally in one corpse, citing that this muscle was a very rare finding; this statement is in disagreement with the aforementioned authors, since almost all of them found the presence of muscle in more than 50% of the dissected limbs.…”

OBJECTIVE: The relationship of Gantzer muscle to the median and anterior interosseous nerve is debated. METHODS: Ìn an anatomical study with 80 limbs from 40 cadavers the incidence, origin, insertion, nerve supply and relations of Gantzer muscle have been documented. RESULTS: The muscle was found in 54 forearms (68% of limbs) and was supplied by the anterior interosseous nerve. It arose from the deep surface of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle, (42 limbs), coronoid process (eight limbs) and medial epicondyle (seven limbs). Its insertion was to the ulnar part of flexor pollicis longus muscle. The Gantzer muscle always lay posterior to both the median and anterior interosseous nerve. CONCLUSION: The Gantzer muscle may contribute to the median nerve and anterior interosseous nerve compression. The muscle was found in 68% of limbs and should be considered a normal anatomical pattern rather than an anatomical variation. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.

“…On the other hand, symptom reproduction during resisted contraction of the flexor superficialis is suggestive of an entrapment beneath the arch of the flexor digitorum superficialis [7]. Finally, a few cases of nerve entrapment syndrome are described without any anatomic constraints nor specific location [9]. …”

The median nerve (MN) may be affected by various peripheral neuropathies, each of which may be categorized according to its cause, as either an extrinsic (due to an entrapment or a nerve compression) or an intrinsic (including neurogenic tumors) neuropathy. Entrapment neuropathies are characterized by alterations of the nerve function that are caused by mechanical or dynamic compression. It occurs because of anatomic constraints at specific locations including sites where the nerve courses through fibro-osseous or fibromuscular tunnels or penetrates a muscle. For the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies, physicians traditionally relied primarily on clinical findings and electrodiagnostic testing with electromyography. However, if further doubt exists, clinicians may ask for an additional imaging evaluation.
