• Resumen

  • Cubital tunnel syndrome caused by a vessel anomaly is extremely rare. In our case, a patient complained of acute ulnar nerve neuropathy imme-diately following an operative mass excision at the contralateral elbow. There were no pathologic find-ings other than twisting of the accompanying ves-sel around the ulnar nerve. Symptoms were com-pletely relieved following abnormal vessel ligation and ulnar nerve transposition. Hence, we conclude that aberrant vessel paths can cause acute ulnar nerve neuropathy around the elbow.
