The posterior interosseous nerve has direct and important relations in its course with bone, joint, bursa and muscle at the entrance of spinator arcade and each point may be the source of pathology which deforms the nerve. In the present study, we describe ten cases of posterior interosseous nerve syndrome from patients with rheumatoid and non-rhematoid arthritis. Differential diagnosis of posterior interosseous nerve syndrome from other pathologic conditions such as wrist drop, tendon rupture is essential to establish the dignosis. In the present study, the deep radial nerve was directly compressed by an antecubital cyst in six rheumatoid patients, and four non-rheumatoid patients had ganglion at the antecubital region which was caused secondarily by movements of repetitive pronation-supination as a causative factor. In patients with a persistent nerve compression syndrome, decompression of the nerve is recommended to diminish the possibility of recurrence.
