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.

Abstract Objective: We sought to describe the operative technique in ulnar nerve compression caused by the epitrochleoanconeus muscle and a prominent medial head of the triceps. These anatomic features make the approach to the ulnar nerve at the elbow peculiar and may create technical difficulties during surgical treatment of this area. Methods: We reviewed patients who underwent surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome between November 1997 and December 2004. The presence of the epitrochleoanconeus muscle with prominent medial head of the triceps occurred in 3.2% of patients. A detailed and illustrated description of the surgical anatomy and the peculiarities of the surgical approach are provided. Results: Epitrochleoanconeus muscle and the prominent portion of the medial head of the triceps were sectioned and removed, and simple decompression of the ulnar nerve was performed. This treatment achieved complete recovery in all of the patients affected by moderate-grade syndrome (Dellon Grade 2 syndrome) who had not shown severe-grade syndrome preoperatively. Conclusion: The simple decompression of the ulnar nerve with myotomy or removal of epitrochleoanconeus muscle and the prominent portion of the medial head of the triceps achieved good postoperative results. Experiences from the literature and alternative surgical options are reported.

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.
