what is cubital tunnel sydnrome
In occupations that involve hammering and lifting heavy objects, such as carpentry, the ulnar nerve can be compressed proximally within the cubital tunnel (cubital tunnel syndrome) as a result of repetitive elbow flexion, which decreases the volume of the cubital tunnel. Decreased pinch strength occurs as a result of weakness of the adductor pollicis muscle, which appears as the Froment sign.

Compression of the ulnar nerve within the Guyon canal (ulnar tunnel syndrome) can also result in decreased pinch strength (due to adductor pollicis weakness) as well as sensory deficits or paresthesias over the little finger and, in some cases, the palmar surface of the medial aspect of the hand. However, the dorsal surface of the hand would be spared because the dorsal surface of the medial aspect of the hand is usually innervated by the dorsal cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve, which arises more proximally in the forearm.

Atrophy of structures in the tectum of the midbrain (e.g., the superior colliculus) results in vertical gaze palsy, the hallmark of PSP, or, less commonly, complete external ophthalmoparesis. Patients with PSP often have postural instability, which leads to gait impairment and frequent falls. Furthermore, frontal lobe dysfunction manifests with behavioral changes (e.g., apathy, disinhibition, impaired reasoning). Patients usually also present with signs of parkinsonism (e.g., bradykinesia, rigor) and may develop features of pseudobulbar palsy such as dysarthria and dysphagia, as seen in this patient.
