Entry term(s) síndrome de Guyon
síndromes de compresión del nervio ulnar
Scope note: Neuropatía cubital producida por compresión mecánica del nervio en cualquier localización desde su origen en el PLEXO BRAQUIAL hasta su terminación en la mano. Los sitios comunes de compresión incluyen el surco retroepicondíleo, el túnel cubital del codo (SÍNDROME DEL TÚNEL CUBITAL), y el conducto de Guyon de la muñeca. Las características clínicas dependen del sitio de la lesión, pero pueden incluir debilidad o parálisis de la flexión de la muñeca, flexión de los dedos y de los músculos intrínsecos de la mano inervados por el cubital, y trastornos de la sensibilidad en la cara cubital de la mano, el quinto dedo, y la mitad cubital del dedo anular. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1995, Ch51, p43)

Scope note: Ulnar neuropathies caused by mechanical compression of the nerve at any location from its origin at the BRACHIAL PLEXUS to its terminations in the hand. Common sites of compression include the retroepicondylar groove, cubital tunnel at the elbow (CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME), and Guyon's canal at the wrist. Clinical features depend on the site of injury, but may include weakness or paralysis of wrist flexion, finger flexion, and ulnar innervated intrinsic hand muscles, and impaired sensation over the ulnar aspect of the hand, fifth finger, and ulnar half of the ring finger.
