Role of high resolution ultrasound in ulnar nerve neuropathy.
AIM This study was conducted to measure the cross sectional area (CSA) of the ulnar nerve (UN) in the cubital tunnel and to evaluate the role of high-resolution ultrasonography in the diagnosis of ulnar nerve neuropathy (UNN). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross sectional study with 64 arms from 32 patients (34 neuropathic, 30 nonneuropathic). Diagnosis was confirmed by nerve conduction st...
متن کاملPeripheral compression lesions of the ulnar nerve.
ANATOMY The anatomical course of the ulnar nerve renders it particularly vulnerable at the elbow and at the wrist. At both sites the nerve or its terminal branches pass through narrow canals in which small space-occupying lesions may exert pressure. As the nerve crosses the elbow it passes from the extensor aspect of the arm into the flexor mass of the forearm, running between the two heads of ...
متن کاملEntrapment neuropathy of the ulnar nerve by a constriction band: the role of MRI.
The diagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow has relied primarily on clinical and electrodiagnostic findings. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in the evaluation of peripheral nerve entrapment disorders to document signal and configurational changes in nerves. In this case report we review the MRI and operative findings of a rare constriction band causing ulnar nerve compre...
متن کاملSynovial Chondromatosis of the Elbow With Asymptomatic Ulnar Nerve Compression.
Primary synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign, proliferative disease of hyaline cartilaginous bodies within the synovium of joints. We report a rare case of primary synovial chondromatosis diffusely affecting the ulnohumeral joint causing pain and motion limitations with extrusion into the cubital tunnel and compressing the ulnar nerve but without any preoperative signs or symptoms of ulnar...
متن کاملElbow Ulnar Neuropathy: Treatment by Anterior Transposition of the Ulnar Nerve
OBJECTIVES Retrospective clinical evaluation of 31 patients who underwent ulnar nerve decompression at the elbow and subcutaneous anterior transposition. METHODS From January 2000 to December 2013, 71 patients underwent subcutaneous anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve. Thirty-one patients returned for evaluation. The mean follow-up period was 60 months. Patients were evaluated for the d...
