Caption
The median nerve is the most echogenic of the upper extremity nerves. It is also the only forearm nerve that that does not run alongside vessels, making it an easy and safe target for a nerve block. It is seen here as a hyperechoic, honeycomb appearing oval in the center of the screen. The probe is positioned in transverse orientation on the volar aspect of the forearm.
