Symptomatic ulnar neural loop at the wrist.
A case report is presented of a patient found at surgery to have an anomalous neural loop of the ulnar nerve at the wrist. The literature is reviewed. Although previous cases have been reported with compressive symptoms or as a coincidental finding we believe that this is the first case reported where symptoms were directly related to the presence of the loop without evidence of a compressive lesion.
