Specializes in Neurology

Ulnar neuropathy: There are circumstances in the workplace that can exacerbate and precipital ulnar neuropathy at the cubital fossa. EMG-NCS is often helpful to exclude concomitant involvement of the ulnar nerve in the hand (canal of guyon) or comorbid issues (polyneuropathy, carpal tunnel, cervical radiculopathy) It makes sense to get the opinion of a neurologist.
