Therapeutic Management of Hypothenar Hammer Syndrome Causing Ulnar Nerve Entrapment
Introduction. The hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare traumatic vascular disease of the hand. Method and Materials. We report the case of a 43-years-old man with a painful tumefaction of the left hypothenar region. The ulnar artery appeared thrombosed clinically and radiologically. The patient underwent surgery to resolve the ulnar nerve compression and revascularise the artery. Results. The s...
متن کاملUlnar nerve paralysis after forearm bone fracture☆
Paralysis or nerve injury associated with fractures of forearm bones fracture is rare and is more common in exposed fractures with large soft-tissue injuries. Ulnar nerve paralysis is a rare condition associated with closed fractures of the forearm. In most cases, the cause of paralysis is nerve contusion, which evolves with neuropraxia. However, nerve lacerations and entrapment at the fracture...
متن کاملCompression of the Ulnar Nerve in Guyon's Canal Caused by a Large Hypothenar Cyst
OBJECTIVE We report the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with a long-standing, large swelling of the left hypothenar eminence. This was associated with recent-onset paresthesia and numbness of the ring and little fingers. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a cystic lesion that occupied almost the entire bulk of the hypothenar eminence. METHODS Surgical exploration revealed a 7-cm,...
متن کاملMotor paralysis during asphyxial block of the ulnar nerve.
During blocks of the ulnar nerve induced by inflating a sphygmomanometer cuff round the arm, the strengths of the movements of ulnar deviation of the individual fingers and adduction of the thumb were measured by means of a pressure transducer. No statistically significant differences were found between the times at which failure of these movements occurred, and there was no evidence of the occ...
متن کاملRestoration of orbicularis oculi muscle function in rabbits with peripheral facial paralysis via an implantable artificial facial nerve system
The purpose of the present study was to restore orbicularis oculi muscle function using the implantable artificial facial nerve system (IAFNS). The in vivo part of the IAFNS was implanted into 12 rabbits that were facially paralyzed on the right side of the face to restore the function of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which was indicated by closure of the paralyzed eye when the contralateral si...
