The cubital tunnel syndrome caused by the intraneural or extraneural ganglion cysts: Case report and review of the literature
2017, Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic SurgeryCompression and entrapment neuropathies
2013, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The ulnar nerve may be compressed by a prominent medial head of the triceps and an anconeus epitrochlearis muscle (O’Hara and Stone, 1996). Ganglion cysts may also compress the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel (Sharma et al., 2000). Perineurioma may also cause an ulnar neuropathy (Beekman et al., 2004b).
The largest reported epineural ganglion of the ulnar nerve causing cubital tunnel syndrome: Case report and review of the literature
2013, Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Allieu suggested that such ganglia are more likely to occur in middle aged men with a previous history of elbow trauma and this is the most likely causative factor in this case.2 Previous reported ulnar nerve ganglions in the cubital tunnel, as summarized in Table 1,5–8 have been significantly smaller compared to the 11 × 3 cm cyst in this case. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment and it is usually possible to perform a complete excision of epineural ganglions.4
Intraneural ganglion of the ulnar nerve
2012, Formosan Journal of Musculoskeletal DisordersCitation Excerpt :The symptoms involve pain, numbness, sensory impairment in the medial border of the forearm and hand, reduced grip strength, and wasting of the intrinsic hand muscles.23 Total excision of the epineural ganglion may not always be possible without damaging the nerve, especially if the ganglion is intraneural.23 In summary, we presented the case of a patient with intraneural ganglion cyst in the ulnar nerve at the level of the forearm with a significant delay in the diagnosis.
Ulnar nerve compression in the cubital tunnel by a nodular fasciitis
2011, Clinical Neurology and NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Potential ulnar nerve entrapment can occur at 5 common sites across the elbow: the arcade of Struthers, the medial intermuscular septum, the medial epicondyle, the cubital tunnel, and the deep flexor pronator aponeurosis. Cubital tunnel syndrome is usually caused by compression of a cubital tunnel component such as an aponeurosis of the flexor carpi ulnaris and a medial epicondyle, but several authors have reported that cubital tunnel syndrome may also be caused by a mass compressing the ulnar nerve, for example a ganglion, synovial chondromatosis, uremic tumoral calcinosis or a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheaths [3–7]. Our intraoperative pathological report suggested fibromatoses.
