Descriptor English: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Descriptor Spanish: Síndrome del Túnel Cubital
Descriptor síndrome del túnel cubital
Scope note: Compresión del NERVIO CUBITAL en el tunel cubital, que se forma por las dos cabezas del músculo flexor cubital del carpo, aponeurosis humero-cubital y los ligamentos mediales del codo. Esta afección puede producirse después de un traumatismo o en asociación con procesos que producen aumento de volumen del nervio o estrechamiento del canal. Las manifestaciones incluyen dolor en el codo y PARESTESIA que se irradia distalmente, debilidad de los músculos intrínsecos de la mano inervados por el cubital y pérdida de la sensibilidad en la región hipotenar, quinto dedo y la cara cubital del dedo anular.

Scope note: Compression of the ULNAR NERVE in the cubital tunnel, which is formed by the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, humeral-ulnar aponeurosis, and medial ligaments of the elbow. This condition may follow trauma or occur in association with processes which produce nerve enlargement or narrowing of the canal. Manifestations include elbow pain and PARESTHESIA radiating distally, weakness of ulnar innervated intrinsic hand muscles, and loss of sensation over the hypothenar region, fifth finger, and ulnar aspect of the ring finger.
