Abstract

Purpose: The current study was performed to evaluate clinical and electrodiagnostic findings in patients with ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow. Materials and Methods: A retrospective, study was performed on patients who were evaluated at the University of Gazi, Department of Neurology, Ankara, for ulnar nerve entrapment neuropathy at the elbow. Thirty patients who were referred to our EMG laboratory over the past ten years for evaluation of possible ulnar neuropathy at the elbow were investigated. Results: The results of the inching study: localization of compressive ulnar neuropathy at the cubital tunnel was documented by the inching method in 13 elbows and tardy ulnar palsy was documented in 17 elbows. Conclusion: Our study showed that tardy ulnar palsy at the elbow (sulcal compression syndrome) was more common than the cubital tunnel syndrome.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma dirsek düzeyi ulnar nöropatisi olan hastaların klinik ve elektrodiagnostik bulgularının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma Gazi Üniversitesi Nöroloji Kliniğinde değerlendirilerek dirsek düzeyi ulnar nöropatisi tesbit edilmiş olan hastalarda retrospektif olarak hazırlandı. EMG laboratuarında son on yılda dirsek düzeyi ulnar nöropati saptanan 30 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Bulgular: Santimleme yöntemiyle değerlendirilen dirsek düzeyi ulnar nöropatili hastaların 13'ünde kubital tünel, 17'sinde tardı ulnar paralizi tesbit edildi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma dirsek düzeyi ulnar nöropatilerde tardı ulnar paralizinin kubital tünel sendromundan daha sık olduğunu göstermektedir.
