Abstract

Background: ULNAR NERVE compromise concomitant with CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS) has been cited by previous researches. It seems that the incidence previously mentioned is much higher than what we observe in our electrodiagnosis studies. Methods: A cross- sectional prospective study was designed to evaluate the incidence of ULNAR NERVE compromise in patients with electrodiagnostic evidence of CTS according to age and sex, and also to determine the site of ULNAR NERVE involvement. Results: 165 limbs with standard elestrodiagnostic criteria of CTS were evaluated. In 9.7% of the tested limbs, the ULNAR NERVE was involved. Regarding the site of involvement, in 43.75%, the site of the involvement was the wrist area. In 43.75 %, the elbow region was involved and in 12.5%, the forearm region was involved. The most prevalent age rane of concomitant involvement was 45-54 years old. In patients who had sensory symptoms in the 4th and 5th fingers, the incidence of concomitant ULNAR NERVE compromise was significantly higher (p<0.001) than the patients without these symptoms. Conclusions: In patients with CTS concomitant ULNAR NERVE compromise is much lower than the incidence mentioned in previous researches. Apparently the rate of involvement in wrist and elbow are equal. It is recommended that in evaluation of patients for CTS specially when the patient has sensory symptoms in the hand, special attention to be paid to ULNAR NERVE involvement and two nerve comparison tests be interpreted with caution.
