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.

متن کاملNeurophysiological patterns of ulnar nerve neuropathy in leprosy reactions.
BACKGROUND Leprosy neuropathy, despite being primarily demyelinating, frequently leads to axonal loss. Neurophysiological examination of the nerves during Type 1 (T1R) and Type 2 reactions (T2R) may give some insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms. METHODS Neurophysiological examinations were performed in 28 ulnar nerves during a clinical trial of steroid treatment effectiveness, 19 p...
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 کاملUnusually Thickened Ulnar Nerve and Lagophthalmos in Leprosy
Leprosy is a common cause of neuropathy. Thickened peripheral nerves are one of the cardinal features.

Borderline leprosy has a high propensity to involve nerv...
