MR imaging of ulnar nerve entrapment secondary to an anomalous wrist muscle.
MR imaging of an anomalous hypothenar adductor muscle causing isolated deep ulnar nerve branch compression and producing a purely motor neuropathy is presented. The muscle appears to represent a type 1 variant of the intrinsic anomalous hypothenar adductor muscle.
