AAEE case report #15: ulnar neuropathy at or distal to the wrist.

چکیده
A 56-year-old woman developed insidiously progressive, painless weakness of her left hand. Clinical and electrodiagnostic abnormalities were limited to the motor function of the hand, with the hypothenar less affected than more distal ulnar muscles. Compression of the distal ulnar nerve by a ganglionic cyst was surgically relieved and there was postoperative improvement. The electrodiagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at or distal to the wrist is reviewed together with relevant anatomic and clinical aspects of these uncommon lesions.

Accessory Abductor Digiti Minimi Muscle: A Potential Cause of Ulnar Neuropathy at Wrist
Ulnar nerve compression at wrist is manifested either pathologically due to ganglia or neoplasms, or anatomically by the presence of accessory muscles in the hypothenar region. Accessory abductor digiti minimi muscle is an additional muscle encountered rarely in the wrist; presence of which causes high risk of ulnar neuropathy. We report here a case of unilateral accessory abductor digiti minim...

ABSTRACT Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most common entrapment syndrome. Median-ulnar motor comparative technique with Median motor technique in carpal tunnel syndrome were studied. In 50 patients with 72 hands with clinically defined carpal tunnel syndrome and electrophysilogic evidence of Median neuropathy at wrist based upon a prolonged sensory nerve distal latency with 30 asymptomatic volu...

nerve entrapment at the wrist or hand that can cause motor, sensory or combined motor and sensory loss depending on the localization of entrapment along the canal. The most common etiological factor is the compression of the ulnar nerve at the wrist by a ganglion. However, other conditions such as anomalous musculotendinous arches, lipomas, diseases of the ulnar artery, fractures of the hamate,...
متن کاملGuyon tunnel syndrome secondary to excessive healing tissue in a child: a case report
We describe a case of an 8-year-old boy who developed a combined motor and sensory neuropathy of the distal ulnar nerve, after sustaining a superficial injury to the right flexor carpi ulnaris tendon at the level of the distal wrist crease. Guyon's canal syndrome is a very rare entity during childhood. We have noted only one prior description of this syndrome in the pediatric age group in a rev...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: Ganglion cyst causing pure sensory ulnar neuropathy at the wrist.
A 32-year-old woman presented with left wrist pain and tender mass at the wrist for 1 month. She described left 4th and 5th digit tingling which worsened with palpation of the mass. Sensory nerve action potential of the digital sensory branch of the left ulnar nerve was of low amplitude and prolonged distal latency. Motor conduction studies and needle EMG were normal. Wrist MRI (figure) showed ...
