@article{Hwaizi2013UlnarTS, title={Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome Due to Ulnar Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report}, author={Las J. Hwaizi}, journal={journal of Clinical Case Reports}, year={2013}, volume={2013} }
Aims: To report of a case with non-traumatic distal ulnar artery aneurism leading to ulnar nerve neuropathy at level of wrist in the ulnar tunnel. Ulnar nerve impingement has been mostly reported to be a result of posttraumatic false aneurysms, thrombosis, or anomalies distal ulnar artery in ulnar tunnel (Guyon’s canal). Methods: A 33 year-old woman with sever continuous pain which was gradual in onset over the last 9 months associated with intermittent burning sensation and continuous numbness…

The authors present a case of segmental sensory ulnar neuropathy in the wrist which intraoperatively demonstrated impingement on the ulnar nerve by a tortuous ulnar artery, the first report in the literature in which such association has been found to occur extracranially, involving a peripheral nerve.

A review of the literature of ulnar nerve compression lesions confirmed expectations based on the regional anatomy, and combined motor and sensory loss was most often caused by compression from deep to the nerves, while pure sensory deficits were a result of compression lesions lying superficial to the nerve.
