Median and ulnar nerve compression at the wrist caused by anomalous muscles.
Compression of the median and ulnar nerves at the wrist is frequently encountered. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually occurs without any obvious extrinsic cause; several cases have however been reported caused by anomalous or hypertrophic muscles. A survey of the literature shows that compression neuropathy of the median nerve has been reported in relation with anomalies affecting three muscles: th...
متن کاملCompression neuropathy of the motor fibers of the median nerve at wrist level.
Selective electrophysiological involvement of median motor fibers is rare in carpal tunnel syndrome. We report a patient with compression neuropathy of the median nerve who presented with isolated motor signs and symptoms without macroscopic evidence of compressive pathologies.
متن کاملUlnar nerve entrapment at the wrist.
MEDIAN nerve compression at the wrist is common and its treatment by decompression is usually successful. Ulnar nerve entrapment, on the other hand, is uncommon. The ulnar nerve as it enters the hand passes through and divides in the canal of Guyon, into its deep (motor) and superficial (sensory) branch. This ulnarcarpal tunnel is bounded proximally and medially by the pisiform, distally and la...
متن کاملUlnar nerve entrapment neuropathy due to extraneural ganglia at the elbow: A case report
A rare case of ulnar nerve entrapment due to extraneural ganglion at the elbow is presented. A 64-year old right-handed man presented with a 6 months history of pain in his right elbow, progressive numbness, tingling, atrophy and weakness in his right hand. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated a severe conduction block affecting the ulnar nerve in the retrotrochlear groove but without any ...
متن کاملMedian and ulnar nerve conduction studies at the wrist: criterion validity of the NC-stat automated device.
OBJECTIVE To compare results obtained with the NC-stat--an automated nerve testing device--to traditional nerve conduction studies relevant to carpal tunnel syndrome screening. METHODS Thirty-three subjects recruited from patients referred for electrodiagnostic testing were studied. Measurements including the distal motor latency (DML), distal sensory latency (DSL), and median-ulnar latency d...
