Compression of the Ulnar Nerve by the Supracondylar Process: About A Case and Reviewed the Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
The supracondylar process is a congenital anatomical variation. It is a hook-shaped bone spur that does not exceed two centimeters, which develops at the junction of the inner and anterior surfaces of the humerus. The reports of this process with the ulnar nerve are very intimate, which may be at the origin of the compression of the latter. We report here the case of an 18-year-old girl who consults for moderate, intermittent, spontaneous or provoked pain in the inner part of the right arm, where the examination is found on palpation of the anteromedial border of the humerus an easily identifiable bone projection. X-ray and CT showed a spur-shaped bone outgrowth directed downwards and forwards, about 15mm. The patient was treated surgically with resection of the process and release of the ulnar nerve found stuck. The operative sequences were simple with complete disappearance of the local pains. The anatomopathological study confirmed the diagnosis.
