Diagnostic value of high-resolution sonography in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow

Abstract: High-resolution sonography is an accurate and easily applied test for the diagnosis of UNE. The authors recommend its use in addition to electrodiagnostic studies because it improves the reliability of the diagnosis of UNE.

“…These changes can be quantified by measuring nerve size parameters, such as the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the nerve. The increase of CSA of the involved nerve allows precise localization in entrapment neuropathies and peripheral nerve tumors [1][2][3][4]. Moreover, enlargements of multiple nerves in acquired and hereditary polyneuropathies are also described [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Neurosonography provides a reliable diagnosis and localization in entrapment neuropathies, traumatic peripheral nerve injuries and tumors of the peripheral nerves, and it has become a useful supplementary tool for electrodiagnostic studies in these conditions [1][2][3][4]. Characteristic nerve size changes in polyneuropathies have been reported as well [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Sonography and short-segment NCS are, therefore, additional instruments to localize the lesion in patients with UNE. 4 When analyzing the results of short-segment NCS, it is important to determine the upper limits of normal conduction times and amplitude changes over each 2-cm segment separately. Amplitude reduction or latency change differs over the various 2-cm segments across the elbow.…”

“…Especially in the patients with nonlocalizing electrodiagnostic signs, clinical follow-up and sometimes magnetic resonance imaging of the brachial plexus or cervical spine were used to exclude conditions mimicking UNE (lower brachial plexopathy, radiculopathy, and ulnar neuropathy at the wrist). 4 Patients with a history of ulnar nerve surgery, acute traumatic origin of UNE, a history of polyneuropathy or genetically proven hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies, or signs of polyneuropathy were excluded from the study.…”
