⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

We aimed to underline the importance and presence of arcade of Struthers by presenting a 20 year old male patient with a clinical presentation of ulnar entrapment neuropathy and having electrophysiological findings of ulnar entrapment at the middle region of his arm

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Ulnar nerve usually gets entrapped at cubital sulcus, but it may rarely occur at the wrist region and the most frequent reason is chronic pressure.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the arm region is very rare and only a few case reports have been published.

Abstract

Ulnar nerve usually gets entrapped at cubital sulcus, but it may rarely occur at the wrist region and the most frequent reason is chronic pressure. Entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the arm region is very rare and only a few case reports have been published. Arcade of Struthers, which is found in the middle region of the arm, is an entrapment area for ulnar nerve. We aimed to underline the importance and presence of arcade of Struthers by presenting a 20 year old male patient with a clinical presentation of ulnar entrapment neuropathy and having electrophysiological findings of ulnar entrapment at the middle region of his arm

Özet

Ulnar sinir sıklıkla kübital olukta tuzaklanmasına karşın seyrek olarak bilek düzeyinde tuzaklanabilir ve en sık neden kronik basıdır. Kol düzeyinde ulnar sinir tuzaklanması çok nadirdir ve sadece birkaç olgu sunumu bildirilmiştir. Kol orta kısmında bulunan Struthers arkusu ulnar sinir için bir tuzak nöropati yeri olabilir ancak halen varlığı tartışmalıdır. 20 yaşında klinik olarak ulnar tuzak nöropati bulguları olan ve elektrofizyolojik olarak kolun orta kısmında tuzaklanma saptanan olgumuzda Struthers arkusunun varlığına ve önemine dikkat çekmek istedik
