[Ulnar nerve neuropathy in the wrist region: surgical findings]. 1976

H Nigst

The author describes the operative findings in 20 cases of compression of the ulnar nerve at the wrist. Adhesions with or without compression of the nerve, neuroma formation and compression by a ganglion are the most frequent findings. In some cases an enlarged artery is compressing the nerve. In one case a loose pisiform bone was causing the irritation. Despite clinical and electromyographical symptoms there was no pathological finding in 2 cases.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009408	Nerve Compression Syndromes	Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.
