    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ulnar nerve compression, particularly cubital tunnel syndrome, can stem from joint issues like chondromatosis or vascular problems. Neurological and electromyographical exams are key to diagnosing these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Neurology
    • Anatomy

    Context:

    • The ulnar nerve is susceptible to compression at specific anatomical locations, notably the cubital tunnel near the elbow and Guyon's canal in the hypothenar region.
    • Intra-articular changes within the elbow joint can contribute to nerve compression, in addition to inherent tunnel narrowing.

    Purpose:

    • To present two uncommon cases of functional cubital tunnel syndrome.
    • To highlight the role of chondromatosis and vascular compression as etiological factors.

    Summary:

    • This study details two distinct cases of cubital tunnel syndrome where the primary cause was not typical entrapment but rather secondary functional compression.
    • One case involved chondromatosis of the elbow joint, leading to nerve impingement. The second case demonstrated functional compression attributed to vascular abnormalities.

    Impact:

    • Emphasizes the importance of considering intra-articular and vascular pathologies in the differential diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome.
    • Underscores the necessity of comprehensive neurological and electromyographical evaluations to accurately diagnose nerve compression syndromes and differentiate them from other neuropathies.
