Median Artery

Carpal tunnel syndrome is characterised by compression of the median nerve. The mainstay of treatment is surgical decompression. This case report highlights the occurrence of a persistent median artery, which could complicate surgery. A 55-year-old woman underwent carpal tunnel decompression. An incidental finding of a large-calibre persistent median artery, which was superficial to the flexor sheath, could have been damaged. This was carefully retracted and the procedure was completed, without any complications. Several studies have shown the prevalence of persistent median artery to range from 1.1–27.1%. It is usually found deep to the flexor retinaculum but in this case it was found to be just beneath the palmar fascia. There is increased chance of iatrogenic injury with this particular variant. Surgeons performing the procedure should be mindful of this variation, because accidental damage could result in devastating consequences to the hand.

We report a case of carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of an extraosseous chondroma in a 47-year-old gentleman. This case demonstrates the importance of clinical examination and occasional radiographs in this not uncommon condition. We also highlight that this well known entrapment syndrome is not only caused by the common causes that we all know, but also any space-occupying lesion in the carpal tunnel compressing the median nerve.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common peripheral compression neuropathy and can be caused by many diseases and conditions, including the formation of gouty tophi in various structures of the tunnel. This publication provides a review of literature and a case report on Carpal tunnel syndrome in a 58-year-old male patient with tophaceous gout. The case is characterized by the extremely rare combination of median nerve compression and tendons dysfunction due to the tophi deposits in the flexor tendons of the hand.

Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

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.

An unusual case of compression of median nerve at the wrist is described due to a foreign body. In unusual presentation of carpal tunnel syndrome, ultrasonography of the wrist is recommended to rule out a foreign body in the region.
