Abstract

Guyons canal syndrome is an uncommon disease characterized by ulnar nerve compression symptoms within Cuyon s canal. The symptoms vary with the level of compression, and the cause of compression may be extrinsic or intrinsic. We have had experience with a case of the syndrome that was caused by a ganglion in the canal.
