Abstract
Intermittent occlusion of the ulnar artery developed in a patient caus ing cramp in her right hand. Both flexion and extension of the wrist c ompletely obstructed bloodflow in the ulnar artery, at a level just pr oximal to the wrist. At operation, a tight band of antebrachial fascia was found to be the cause of this intermittent arterial occlusion. Su rgical release of this fascial band produced complete relief of her sy mptoms.
