[Unusual compression of the ulnar nerve caused by a hematic cyst]. 1979

G Pagliughi, and A Vespasiani

Among the various possible causes underlying compressive syndromes of the ulnar nerve at the wrist, classified as "occupational neuritides", we must number the presence of a hematic cyst in Guyon's canal. The authors describe the occurrence of a hematic cyst in the region of the pyramido-unciform joint, with prompt and complete restoration of ulnar nerve function after surgical removal of the cyst.

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.
