Abstract

We report a 51-year-old Chinese male with a ganglion in the Guyon canal causing ulnar nerve palsy and a 54-year-old Chinese male with a ganglion in the elbow causing posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy. Exploration and excision of the ganglions were performed. Both patients made a good recovery.
