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 کاملThe electrodiagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow.
Entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is the second most common focal peripheral neuropathy. Recent advances have facilitated the electrodiagnosis of this common nerve entrapment. The goals of electrodiagnosis are to localize ulnar nerve dysfunction, confirm that the disturbance is confined to the ulnar nerve, and assess the severity of ulnar nerve dysfunction. The goal of this review is t...
متن کاملExtended effective electrodiagnosis in ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow
Background: This study aimed to explore the value of extended motor nerve conduction studies in patients with ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE) in order to find the most sensitive and least time-consuming method. We wanted to evaluate the utility of examining both the sensory branch from the fifth finger and the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve. Further we intended to study the clinical...
متن کاملElectrodiagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the different localizing electrodiagnostic techniques of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE), particularly, comparison of the sensitivities of long segment stimulation across the elbow, versus short segment stimulation. METHODS Patients who were referred to the Neurophysiology Laboratory of Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey between ...

differential slowing across the elbow is anyway of limited value as a sole criterion. Furthermore, routine NCS cannot discriminate between a lesion at the retroepicondylar groove and the humero-ulnar arcade. Precise localization by using inching may then be of additional use. Leo H.
