UNLABELLED Sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) of median nerve measured across the carpal tunnel, difference between distal sensory latencies (DSLs) of median and ulnar nerves and difference between distal motor latencies (DMLs) of median and ulnar nerves are commonly used nerve conduction parameters for diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). These are having high degree of sensitivity...

tunnel syndrome, the second most common compression neuropathy of the upper extremity. Patients often present with pain, paresthesias and/or weakness that if left untreated may lead to significant disability. This article reviews the etiology, diagnosis and management of cubital tunnel syndrome. The ulnar nerve originates from branches of the C8 and T1 spinal nerve roots and is the terminal bra...

Two cyclists developed mononeuropathy of the deep palmar branch of the ulnar nerve due to ulnar nerve compression adjacent to the ulnar tunnel (of Guyon) by prolonged bicycle riding. A modification of hand grip on the bicycle handlebars resulted in rapid recovery in one patient.

Compression neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is commonly caused by constriction at the fibrous cubital tunnel or an anatomical elbow deformity. Many uncommon causes of compression have been described, including Osborne’s band, ulnar nerve subluxation,1 anatomical confines of the cubital tunnel, elbow osteoarthritis, ganglion,2 prominent medial head of triceps,3 and an anconeus epitroc...

INTRODUCTION Ulnar nerve is a branch of the brachial plexus. In the front of the forearm, normally near the wrist joint, it gives a dorsal cutaneous branch which supplies the skin of the dorsum of the hand. CASE PRESENTATION The present case reports a very rare finding, the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve along with the main nerve trunk originated between the two heads of the flexor carpi ul...

our previous studies have shown that median and ulnar nerve lesion induced calbindin (cb) immunoreactivity in some injured motoneurons in developing rats. motoneuron death induced by sciatic nerve transection in neonatal rats has been related to induction of neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nnos). the present study investigated whether expression of cb and nicotinomid adenin dinucleot...

INTRODUCTION Nerve entrapment while suturing a lacerated wound is a complication that is easily avoidable. We report a case low ulnar nerve palsy due to nerve entrapment while suturing a lacerated wound. CASE REPORT A 48 year old lady came with complaints of pain and a lacerated wound over the dorsomedial aspect of lower third of the left forearm. The lacerated wound was sutured elsewhere one...

sum of the foot including the first web space. He had left foot drop. The clinical impression was mononeuritis multiplex involving the right ulnar nerve, right medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm and the left common peroneal nerve. Prostatomegaly was evident on ultrasound scan. Nerve conduction study using surface electrodes showed low amplitude Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the ...

This report describes an isolated laceration to the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve by a retained foreign body. The patient sustained a laceration on the ulnar, volar aspect of his palm after a fall on gravel. He presented to the emergency room with motor deficits but a normal sensory examination. No foreign bodies were identified on initial wound exploration or review of plain radiographs...

OBJECTIVE To assess the anatomical variations of the pronator teres muscle (PTM) and its implication in the compression of the median nerve, which passes through the humeral and ulnar heads of the PTM. METHODS For the present study, 100 upper limbs from human cadavers from the anatomy laboratory were dissected. Forty-six specimens were male and four, female, whose aged ranged from 28 to 77 ye...
