Abstract
The Kaplan anastomosis is a rare communication originally described between the superficial
and dorsal branches of the ulnar nerve, distal to the ulnar tunnel, and in strict
relation with the pisiform bone. It reveals, by its particular location, a formation
of high clinical-surgical expressiveness. In this paper, we describe a Kaplan-type
communication from a left upper limb with an unusual loop conformation between branches
of the ulnar nerve in the pisiform bone.
