We report a case of medial antebrachial cutaneous neuropathy caused by venipuncture in the antecubital fossa of the arm as seen in the electrophysiological findings. A 53-year-old woman, who presented with an acute development of pain in the left forearm corresponding to the area of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MACN) territory after venipuncture for routine blood sampling, was admitted to our hospital. Nerve conduction studies performed 21 days after the symptom onset demonstrated decreased amplitude in sensory nerve action potential of the left MACN compared with that of the right side.
