Abstract

Vascular malformation as a cause of cubital tunnel syndrome has not yet been reported. Cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS), the most common entrapment neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at elbow level, is also the second most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity, regardless of carpal tunnel syndrome. Here, we report CuTS due to vascular malformation in a 63-year-old woman. The ulnar nerve at the distal part of tunnel was markedly compressed. There was no connection between the lesion and the ulnar nerve. The diagnosis was made by using histopathology, and thereafter the lesion was fully resected. Pain in her ring and little fingers disappeared one month after resection of the malformation.
肘管综合征:一种可能由血管畸形引起的压迫性神经病
血管畸形作为肘管综合征的病因尚未见报道。肘管综合征(CuTS)是最常见的肘部水平尺神经卡压神经病,也是上肢第二常见的卡压神经病,与腕管综合征无关。在此,我们报告一位63岁女性因血管畸形导致的切口。隧道远端尺神经明显受压。病变和尺神经之间没有联系。通过组织病理学进行诊断,然后完全切除病变。术后1个月无名指和小指疼痛消失。
