Zusammenfassung: | This article describes the concomitant presence of two anomalous muscles on a left forearm in a 40-year-old man. The anconeus epitrochlearis muscle was responsible for a cubital tunnel syndrome and the unusual origin of the flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle was responsible for a compartment syndrome with ulnar nerve compression at the level of Guyon's canal during effort diagnosed by MRI. Resection of these muscles relieved the symptoms and allowed the patient to return to work. |
