Abstract
Ulnar neuropathy at the wrist (UNW) is uncommon and it may result from various causes such as tumors, fracture, or overuse injuries. Also a ganglion has been reported as a rare cause of UNW. Ganglions are the most common soft tissue tumors of the hand and wrist, but their etiology remains controversial. Several studies have described associated abnormalities of the intracarpal ligaments. However, ganglions associated with triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions are rarely reported so far. We hereby report a case of UNW caused by a ganglion and an associated TFCC lesion.
Key Words: ulnar neuropathy, ganglions, triangular fibrocartilage complex
