Unusual wave morphologies in ulnar neuropathy with Marinacci anastomosis: a case report

Marinacci anastomosis is a normal but rare anatomic variant of the median and ulnar nerves, consisting of an interconnection from the ulnar nerve to the median nerve within the proximal forearm. This is a case of Marinacci anastomosis occurring in the presence of both median and ulnar neuropathies, producing unusual waveform characteristics. Knowledge of normal anatomic variation can improve diagnostic accuracy in nerve conduction studies.

Abstract

Marinacci anastomosis is a normal but rare anatomic variant of the median and ulnar nerves, consisting of an interconnection from the ulnar nerve to the median nerve within the proximal forearm. This is a case of Marinacci anastomosis occurring in the presence of both median and ulnar neuropathies, producing unusual waveform characteristics. Knowledge of normal anatomic variation can improve diagnostic accuracy in nerve conduction studies.
