An interesting cause of wrist drop: The crow position in yoga and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies
2 Department of Neurology, Gülhane Medical School, Ankara, Türkiye DOI : 10.5606/tftrd.2024.12006 Hereditary neuropathy with liability pressure palsies (HNPP) is usually caused by compression and is an episodic, painless, recurrent hereditary neuropathy with focal motor and sensory involvement. It begins in adolescence and young adulthood. The most commonly affected nerves in HNPP are the ulnar, peroneal, radial, and median nerves. In this article, we present a 31-year-old female patient with a previously undescribed case of HNPP, which presented with wrist drop due to the trapping of the radial nerve in the spiral groove after the crow position in yoga. Keywords : Compression, neuropathy, radial
