Intermittent Occlusion of the Ulnar ArteryFrom the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Correspondence: Neil F. Jones, MD, 200 UCLA Medical Plaza, Los Angeles, California 90024, USA. Intermittent occlusion of the ulnar artery developed in a patient causing cramp in her right hand. Both flexion and extension of the wrist completely obstructed bloodflow in the ulnar artery, a level just proximal to the wrist. At operation, a tight hand of antebrachial fascia was found to the cause of this intermittent arterial occlusion. Surgical release of this fascial ban reduced complete relief of her symptoms.
