Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side of the...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis III01:31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A rare tuberculoma affecting the ulnar nerve in a child caused nerve palsy. Surgical removal and antitubercular treatment led to significant improvement, highlighting this unusual presentation of tuberculosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Tuberculoma, a rare manifestation of tuberculosis, typically affects the central nervous system.
  • Peripheral nerve involvement by tuberculoma is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old girl presented with ulnar nerve palsy and a forearm mass after trauma and TB exposure.
  • Clinical signs included paresthesias and claw hand deformity.
  • Surgical exploration revealed a caseous tuberculoma compressing the ulnar nerve.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed tuberculoma of the ulnar nerve.
  • Subtotal surgical removal of the lesion was performed.
  • The patient received antitubercular therapy post-surgery.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of tuberculoma presentation.
  • Highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in peripheral nerve lesions, even without systemic signs.
  • Successful management involves a combination of surgical intervention and appropriate antitubercular treatment.
