Findings of exploration of a vein-wrapped ulnar nerve: Report of a case

A 54-year-old woman underwent a revision procedure after failure of 3 previ ous procedures for recalcitrant cubital tunnel syndrome. She underwent neur olysis and vein wrapping of the ulnar nerve during the fourth procedure. Tw o years later she developed a neuroma of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve necessitating a fifth procedure. At the time of neuroma relocation we noted that the vein was intact around the ulnar nerve and that there was n o scarring between the vein and nerve. (J Hand Surg 2001;26A:60-63.
