Özet

Background: The palmaris longus (PL) is one of the most anatomically variable muscles in the body. Although these variations are often asymptomatic, symptoms related to nerve compression can sometimes be encountered. If treatment is indicated, correct diagnosis is important for successful management. In cases of upper extremity nerve compression, variations of the PL should be included in the differential diagnosis. We report a case of reversed PL (RPL) with symptoms of median nerve compression and review the literature, emphasizing the rare and challenging character of these lesions.
