Scope note: Enfermedades que afectan al NERVIO CUBITAL desde su origen en el PLEXO BRAQUIAL hasta su terminación en la mano. Las manifestaciones clínicas pueden incluir PARESIA o PARÁLISIS de la flexión de la muñeca, flexión de los dedos, aducción del pulgar, abducción de los dedos, y aducción de los dedos. También puede afectarse la sensibilidad sobre la zona media de la palma de la mano, del quinto dedo, y de la cara cubital del dedo anular. Los sitios comunes de lesión incluyen la AXILA, el túnel cubital en el CODO, y el conducto de Guyon en la muñeca. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1995, Ch51 pp43-5)

Scope note: Disease involving the ULNAR NERVE from its origin in the BRACHIAL PLEXUS to its termination in the hand. Clinical manifestations may include PARESIS or PARALYSIS of wrist flexion, finger flexion, thumb adduction, finger abduction, and finger adduction. Sensation over the medial palm, fifth finger, and ulnar aspect of the ring finger may also be impaired. Common sites of injury include the AXILLA, cubital tunnel at the ELBOW, and Guyon's canal at the wrist. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1995, Ch51 pp43-5)
