MR anatomy and pathology of the ulnar nerve involving the cubital tunnel and Guyon's canal. Clinical imaging Shen, L., Masih, S., Patel, D. B., Matcuk, G. R. 2015; 40 (2): 263-74

Abstract

Ulnar neuropathy is a common and frequent reason for referral to hand surgeons. Ulnar neuropathy mostly occurs in the cubital tunnel of the elbow or Guyon's canal of the wrist, and it is important for radiologists to understand the imaging anatomy at these common sites of impingement. We will review the imaging and anatomy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow and wrist, and we will present magnetic resonance imaging examples of different causes of ulnar neuropathy, including trauma, overuse, arthritis, masses and mass-like lesions, and systemic diseases. Treatment options will also be briefly discussed.
