a Hypoechoic ulnar nerve (A) is seen at the level of the cubital tunnel with underlying synovial thickening (*) and cortical irregularity (red arrow). b T2-weighted MR image shows thickened hyperintense ulnar nerve (yellow arrow) with surrounding synovial thickening (red arrowhead) and joint effusion. Note is made of subchondral cysts (blue arrow) and cortical irregularity (red arrow). c A hyperintense ulnar nerve (yellow arrow), joint effusion (red arrow) and panniculitis (blue arrow) can be seen behind the median epicondyle in the cubital tunnel on this PD FS image. Chronic inflammation has led to cubital tunnel syndrome in this patient. d Intra-operative picture of the patient with cubital tunnel syndrome due to chronic inflammation shows thickened ulnar nerve
