Fibrolipoma of multiple nerves in the wrist.

30 Jul 2009 We report fibrolipoma involving the median nerve, its palmar cutaneous branch as well as the ulnar nerve in the same hand of a 25-year-old woman. The patient presented with a lump in the wrist with signs of carpal tunnel syndrome. Multiple nerve ... Read more...

Digital neuropathy of the median and ulnar nerves caused by Dupuytren's contracture: Case report.

29 Jun 2009 INTRODUCTION: Digital neuropathy is a pure sensory neuropathy of a digital nerve. It may be caused by acute or chronic local trauma or pressure, or accompany systemic illnesses such as rheumatoid disease, leprosy, Raynaud disease, dysproteinemia, or ... Read more...

Ultrasound evaluation of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow: correlation with electrophysiological studies.

28 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: To evaluate, in patients with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE), if ultrasonographic differences in ulnar nerve size correlate with severity score determined by electrodiagnostic studies. METHODS: We examined prospectively 38 patients ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Ulnar Nerve'

Definition: A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the ulnar nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C7 to T1), travel via the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the hand and forearm.
