Abductor Digiti Minimi Muscle

This paper describes four cases of ulnar tunnel compression syndrome caused by the accessory abductor digiti minimi muscle and stresses on the observation that wrist trauma could be an important precipitating factor. Possible pathophysiological explanations of this phenomenon are offered and the anatomy of the accessory abductor digiti minimi muscle is reviewed.

Anomalous variations of abductor digiti minimi are commonly found at Guyon's canal but rarely cause ulnar nerve compression. We report such a case with particular emphasis on the effectiveness of ultrasound to detect and delineate anatomical structures in this region.

Ulnar Nerve Compression

Ulnar nerve compression causing clinical symptoms is a common occurrence. There are numerous conditions that can cause compression. Recently two very interesting and unusual etiologies were seen at the Plastic Surgery service. Leprosy causing ulnar nerve compression is a rare occurrence in a Canadian hospital, and so is a case of palmar mycotic aneurysm in the postantibiotic era.

Tunnel Syndrome

Compression neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is well-recognised as cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). Many causes of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow have been identified. A previously unreported finding of ulnar nerve compression in the cubital tunnel caused by a thrombosed proximal ulnar recurrent artery vena comitans is described.
