Pressure palsy of the ulnar nerve with prolonged conduction block.
A patient is described in whom conduction block occurred in the ulnar nerve after a pressure palsy and persisted for 16 weeks. The unusually long delay in recovery is discussed.
متن کاملChanges in nerve conduction with ulnar lesions at the elbow.
Ulnar nerve lesions at the elbow can usually be recognized by a characteristic combination of physical signs. In the hand, there is wasting and weakness of ulnar-innervated muscles with or without sensory loss of appropriate distribution; in the forearm there is often weakness of the ulnarinnervated portion of the flexor digitorum profundus and sometimes of the flexor carpi ulnaris. Further con...
متن کاملUlnar nerve at the elbow – normative nerve conduction study
INTRODUCTION A goal of our work was to perform nerve conduction studies (NCSs) of the ulnar nerve focused on the nerve conduction across the elbow on a sufficiently large cohort of healthy subjects in order to generate reliable reference data. METHODS We examined the ulnar nerve in a position with the elbow flexion of 90o from horizontal. Motor response was recorded from the abductor digiti m...
متن کاملPalm to Finger Ulnar Sensory Nerve Conduction
Ulnar neuropathy at the wrist (UNW) is rare, and always challenging to localize. To increase the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of UNW many authors advocate the stimulation of the ulnar nerve (UN) in the segment of the wrist and palm. The focus of this paper is to present a modified and simplified technique of sensory nerve conduction (SNC) of the UN in the wrist and palm segments...
متن کاملDorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve conduction: reference values.
We investigated the reference values of the dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve (DUC) sensory nerve conduction (SNC) in 66 healthy individuals. Measurements were processed using stimulating electrodes positioned between the ulnar bone and the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, 11-13 cm proximal to the active electrode recording. Superficial recording electrodes were placed on the fourth intermetacarpal spac...
