Abstract

Background: Double crush syndrome (DCS) is a relatively rare nerve compression syndrome among peripheral nerve compression diseases. However, ulnar nerve double entrapment caused by peri-cubital tunnel ganglion cysts has been rarely reported.

Case presentation: Here, we present a case of a 54-year-old woman who experienced occasional pain, numbness and paralysis in her right half hand for 1 year. A B-ultrasound of the right elbow initially revealed cubital tunnel syndrome only. Further Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a ganglion cyst near the cubital tunnel. After evaluation, we performed open surgery to excise the cyst and incise the cubital tunnel, completely decompressing the ulnar nerve entrapment. Ulnar nerve anterior transposition was also performed simultaneously.

Conclusions: The patient was followed up for 1 month, and she experienced a complete recovery with no functional limitations.

Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

期刊介绍： BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal disorders, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology. The scope of the Journal covers research into rheumatic diseases where the primary focus relates specifically to a component(s) of the musculoskeletal system.
