Hirayama disease is a rare condition of cervical myelopathy. Its early identification and correction can optimize functional outcomes. However, late presentation and some more severe cases may be associated with loss of hand function. Among the cases described, there are no reports of nerve transfers for this condition. We presented the first case report of a Hirayama disease of isolated ulnar nerve impairment managed with nerve transfer. Electroneuromyography showed isolated preganglionic involvement of C7, C8, and T1, with no sensory changes. The patient underwent nerve transfer with anterior interosseous nerve to ulnar nerve supercharge end-to-side, recovering hand function in 7 months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
