Radial tunnel syndrome. An investigation of compression neuropathy as a possible cause.

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.

Abnormal Anatomy

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compression neuropathy of the upper extremity and the most common point of compression for the ulnar nerve. We present a case of ulnar nerve compression neuropathy at the elbow secondary to an abnormal subluxating medial head of triceps. A 37-year-old right hand dominant male presented with a history of bilateral medial elbow pain and ulnar distribution hand numbness. During his left cubital tunnel release surgery, the abnormal anatomy was noted. Initial subfascial anterior transposition was insufficient and had to be revised to a subcutaneous transposition intraoperatively. Failure to recognize the contribution of triceps abnormalities can lead to incomplete resolution following surgery. Surgeons should be wary of uncommon findings and adjust their approach appropriately.
