[Hypothenar-hammer syndrome].
The unilateral distal arterial lesions still give problems in classification and differential diagnosis specially in younger patients. We report on a 45 years old male patient with an aneurysm of the distal ulnar artery and superficial palmar arch. The chronic occupational trauma of the artery led to the clinical picture of hypothenar hammer syndrome.
