Rj. Spinner et al., DISLOCATING MEDIAL TRICEPS AND ULNAR NEUROPATHY IN 3 GENERATIONS OF ONE FAMILY, The Journal of hand surgery, 22A(1), 1997, pp. 132-137
Variations in the medial triceps in conjunction with bilateral ulnar n
europathy have been identified in three generations of one family also
possessing the phenotype of Waardenburg syndrome (a rare autosomal-do
minant disorder with clinical features including cochlear deafness, dy
stopia canthorum, and pigmentation problems). To our knowledge, no oth
er inherited condition with triceps anomalies has been reported. Study
of this family provided insight into the relationship between disloca
ting medial triceps and ulnar neuropathy and demonstrated that a broad
spectrum of clinical presentations exists-from being completely asymp
tomatic to producing symptomatic snapping and ulnar neuropathy.
