Q

A patient presents with weakness in the hand and loss of sensation on the front surface of the Palm on the ulnar side. Muscular testing reveals an inability to firmly hold a piece of paper between the fingers and a weak grip, especially on the ulnar side. The most likely cause would be a lesion to:

a) C8 and T1 spinal levels
b) musculocutaneous nerve at the elbow
c) ulnar nerve at the carpal tunnel
d) ulnar nerve in Guyon’s tunnel
e) ulnar nerve in the Cubital tunnel

A

e) ulnar nerve in the Cubital tunnel

Since Flexion of the fingers is caused by innervating muscles in the forearm, the lesion has to be at the elbow
Ulnar nerve provides motor and sensory to the ulnar side of forearm and hand

Q

a patient eperiences loss of sensation in a stripe of skin along the medial aspect of the arm and forearm. This is accompanied by paresis of the finger adductors. The lesion would most likely be located in the:

a) lower roots of the brachial plexus
b) ulnar nerve
c) median nerve
d) posterior divisions of the brachial plexus
e) upper roots of the brachial plexus

A

a) lower roots of the brachial plexus
