In this study we aimed to determine its causes and clinical presentation and interpret the electrodiagnostic findings associated with this condition. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: Our investigation was a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with musculocutaneous neuropathy at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota) electromyography (EMG) laboratory between 1997 and 2015. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Thirty\u2010two patients with musculocutaneous neuropathy and 5 patients with lateral antebrachial cutaneous neuropathy were identified. The most common cause was acute trauma or surgery (65%). Fourteen percent of the cases were idiopathic and 14% were inflammatory. Pain and sensory disturbance were more common presentations than weakness. Weakness from nerve injury was not noted in 2 patients, suggesting that other muscles may provide adequate elbow flexion\/supination. The bilateral absence of lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve sensory responses suggests an inflammatory cause. <jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>: Musculocutaneous neuropathy usually results from trauma or iatrogenic injury. Nerve conduction studies alone are insufficient to confirm neuropathy, and needle EMG examination should be a routine part of the diagnostic evaluation. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>58<\/jats:bold>: 726\u2013729, 2018<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.26186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,20]],"date-time":"2018-07-20T14:09:00Z","timestamp":1532095740000},"page":"726-729","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Musculocutaneous neuropathy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5262-9597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cullen M.","family":"O'Gorman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gold Coast Campus, School of Medicine Griffith University  Southport Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Kassardjian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric J.","family":"Sorenson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Mayo Clinic  200 First Street SW, Rochester Minnesota 55905 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.82B8.10791"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","first-page":"230","article-title":"A lesion of the musculocutaneous nerve.
