RESUMEN
Cubital tunnel syndrome refers to compression neuropathy caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve pathway around the elbow. A 63-year-old male patient visited the clinic complaining of decreased sensation and weakness in his left ring finger and little finger, stating that the symptoms first began 6 months prior. He had undergone surgery to remove a ganglion cyst from his left elbow joint about 5 years prior in Mongolia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass located at the previous surgical site, which was compressing the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel. Ulnar nerve decompression and anterior transposition were performed, and the cystic mass was excised. Upon pathological examination, the mass was diagnosed as a ganglion cyst. The patient’s symptoms including sensory dysfunction and weakness improved over the 1-year follow-up period. This report describes a rare case of ganglion cyst recurrence compressing the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel after previous ganglion cyst excision.
RESUMEN
Bilateral asymmetric fracture dislocation of a shoulder joint is a rare subtype of shoulder dislocation and refers to the simultaneous fracture-dislocations of the glenohumeral joints in opposite directions. This paper reports a case of a 43-year-old male patient with a bilateral asymmetric fracture dislocation of the shoulder joints following a hypoglycemic shock who was treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair and the arthroscopic modified McLaughlin procedure. To our knowledge, this case is the first in domestic literature, and therefore the authors report this case with the treatment outcome and a literature review.
