Acute carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) secondary to calcific deposition is rarely reported. In this article we describe a case of acute CTS in the dominant hand of a 94-year-old female patient secondary to calcific tendinitis within the carpal tunnel. Diagnosis was difficult clinically and radiologically. Urgent complete median nerve decompression led to a good clinical recovery.

A 23 year old female nurse developed acute sensory symptoms of median nerve compression. Early exploration revealed abnormal flexor superficialis indicis muscle as the compressing structure. Symptoms were relieved by freeing the muscle from the nerve.

A case of acute compression neuropathy of the median nerve associated with haemorrhage into the carpal tunnel is presented. The condition occurred spontaneously in a patient on Warfarin for previous deep venous thrombosis. The signs and symptoms were those of acute tenosynovitis originating in the common flexor synovial sheath at the wrist with associated paraesthesia in the distribution area of the median nerve in the hand. The patient was afebrile and blood tests were normal.
