  • Title: Anomalous muscle causing ulnar nerve compression at Guyon's canal.
    Author: Paraskevas GK, Ioannidis O, Economou DS.
    Journal: J Plast Surg Hand Surg; 2012 Sep; 46(3-4):288-90. PubMed ID: 22747362.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare anatomical variation of an anomalous supernumerary muscle in a male cadaver. It was crossing Guyon's canal, superficial to the ulnar nerve and ulnar artery, and inserted into the aponeurosis of the little finger. This muscle could potentially cause entrapment of the ulnar nerve in Guyon's canal.
