Review and Case Report

Thomas P. Whetzel, MD

Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of California, Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, California

Ulnar artery aneurysms distal to the carpal ligament represent an uncommon but uniquely characteristic disease entity.

The pathophysiology of this syndrome and its management is reviewed with presentation of an index case.
