ABSTRACT
An unexampled nosologic entity in the literature is described. Nineteen patients with atrophies in the hands are studied. The occupation is shoe stitching. The etiology of disease is due to microtraumatisms of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, during the work. Research for Hansen disease in patients was negative. Electromiographic-tests in 11 patients showed lesion on the periferic motor neron. Nervous conduction speed was diminished in all cases. The treatment consisted of analgesics, B complex vitamin, prednizone, surgery with transposition of the ulnar nerve at the elbow level. Preventive measures are analysed.
