Lecturer, Department of Pharmacology , Senior Lecturer, Nuclear Medicine Unit, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna, Galle. An understanding about the Influences of physical and biological factors is important in interpreting the results of nerve conduction studies of ulnar nerve. Gender dependent anatomical variation and susceptibility for injuries are described in relation to the ulnar n...

Initial experience with the use of dynamic sonography of the elbow for diagnosing ulnar nerve dislocation and snapping triceps syndrome is reported. Cases of three consecutive patients who underwent sonographic evaluation of the elbow and subsequent open elbow surgery for symptomatic ulnar nerve dislocation were reviewed. Dynamic sonography of the elbow was used to aid in the accurate diagnosis...

SD Moffatt, WS Parkhill. Unusual presentations of ulnar nerve paresthesia: Mycotic aneurysm and leprosy. Can J Plast Surg 1996;4(4):217-220. Ulnar nerve compression causing clinical symptoms is a common occurrence. There are numerous conditions that can cause compression. Recently two very interesting and unusual etiologies were seen at the Plastic Surgery service. Leprosy causing ulnar nerve c...

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...
