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.
