Acute cubital tunnel syndrome from post traumatic calcific neuritis.
The normal ulnar nerve is not visible on radiographs of the elbow. An unusual case is described in which symptoms of ulnar nerve compression with a swollen, tender ulnar nerve at the elbow developed after relatively minor trauma. Radiology suggested "Calcific Neuritis", but this was short lived with complete regression of the symptoms.
