An atypical case of Guyon’s canal syndrome is reported. A 40-year-old woman with hypoaesthesia and claw-finger deformity of the little finger, hypothenar muscle atrophy but no first dorsal interosseous muscle atrophy, underwent release of a fibrous band to decompress the ulnar nerve at the deep branch just proximal to the branch to the abductor digiti minimi muscle. The claw-finger deformity recovered 1 week after surgery.
