A 52 year old female with an anterior interosseous nerve syndrome is reported, which probably was caused by an unusual mechanical stress--transport of a case with the left hand for a prolonged period. With insertion of pronator quadratus muscle by a needle electrode as far as radial and distal as possible we received a distinctly prolonged latency of 9.8 ms on the afflicted side by stimulation of median nerve in the bend of elbow; the corresponding value on the healthy side was 5.9 ms. The described technic seems recommendable for proofing of diagnosis and controlling the course of this illness in cases without complete denervation of the muscles innervated by the anterior interosseous nerve.
