Olecranon Bursitis

Epidermal cyst is a dermal or subcutaneous epithelial cyst that contains keratin and is lined by true epidermis. Although extremely rare, it can cause pathology including nerve compression syndrome. We report a rare case of ulnar nerve compression in the elbow that was caused by olecranon bursitis and concomitant epidermal cyst in a 67-year-old man. The ulnar nerve was immediately adjacent to the olecranon bursa and was significantly compressed. There was no connection between the tumor and the ulnar nerve. Pain, numbness, and weakness in his ring and little fingers disappeared after resection of the cyst and bursa.

Ulnar Tunnel

A rare case of neurilemmoma of the deep branch of the ulnar nerve presented as ulnar nerve compression syndrome. This tumour was arising from the deep branch at the wrist just distal to the ulnar tunnel. By its proximity to the sensory division, it led to sensory symptoms in the ulnar two digits. Certain features of this case, which are uncommon are discussed.

Problem Lists

AbstractPatient descriptors, or “problems,” such as “brain metastases of melanoma” are an effective way for caregivers to describe patients. But most problems, e.g., “cubital tunnel syndrome” or “ulnar nerve compression,” found in problem lists in an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) are not comparable computationally – in general, a computer cannot determine whether they describe the same or a related problem, or whether the user would have preferred “ulnar nerve compression syndrome.” Metaphrase is a scalable, middleware component designed to be accessed from problemmanager applications in EMR systems. In response to caregivers' informal descriptors it suggests potentially equivalent, authoritative, and more formally comparable descriptors. Metaphrase contains a clinical subset of the 1997 UMLS Metathesaurus and some 10,000 “problems” from the Mayo Clinic and Harvard Beth Israel Hospital. Word and term completion, spelling correction, and semantic navigation, all combine to ease the burden of problem conceptualization, entry and formalization.

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.
