We report herein a 35-year-old man who suffered from pain at his left elbow and numbness in his left hand. Electromyographic studies demonstrated a localized nerve conduction block in the left elbow region. Ultrasonographic evaluation revealed enlargement of the ulnar nerve at the level of the medial epicondyle as well as bilateral anconeus epitrochlearis muscles, one of which was hypertrophic, causing the ulnar neuropathy at the symptomatic site. We emphasize with this case report the complementary role of ultrasound in peripheral nerve pathologies, as it confirmed the entrapment and determined the underlying cause.
我们在此报告一名35岁男性，他患有左肘部疼痛和左手麻木。肌电图研究显示左肘部区域存在局限性神经传导阻滞。超声评估显示在内上髁水平尺神经增粗，以及双侧肱三头肌内侧头肌肉，其中一块肥厚，导致了症状部位的尺神经病变。我们通过本病例报告强调超声在周围神经病变中的辅助作用，因为它证实了卡压并确定了潜在病因。
