Forearm Pain

In the group of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), besides paresthesias in their fingers, we can see paresthesias in forearm; pain in elbow, shoulder and neck, which is a reason for complicated diagnosis of it. This kind of complexnost of differential diagnosis pain in hand, is a reason for complete and strict diagnostic procedure. There are 30 patients with clinical and neurophysological findings for CTS in this paper who made provocative tests. Analyzing their results we made diagnosis of KTS.

Forearm Pain

The forearm, hand, and wrist is a functionally vital part of the musculoskeletal system and in consequence, is highly sophisticated and complex in its anatomical development. Frequently, the hand and wrist may be the site of onset of symptoms of a polyarthropathy such as rheumatoid arthritis or of osteoarthritis, so that the physician should always seek to screen for such conditions before making a local diagnosis. Tenosynovitis, de Quervain’s disease, trigger digit, Dupuytren’s, and carpal tunnel syndrome are local soft tissue pathologies which can usually be discriminated on clinical grounds with or without the use of simple diagnostic tests and are satisfying to treat for the most part. Non-specific forearm pain is more complex, with much controversy surrounding not only its aetiopathogenesis but also its existence. It can be difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat.

Space Occupying Lesion

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) usually presents bilaterally and a secondary nature should be suspected in patients with unilateral symptoms, especially those with a long-standing history, and when the symptomatic hand shows severe neurophysiologic impairment, while the contralateral hand is neurophysiologically intact. Space-occupying lesions are known to cause CTS and the incidence of space-occupying lesions in unilateral CTS is higher than that of bilateral CTS. It is easy to detect a mass when it is palpable; however, occult lesions are usually overlooked. Whenever a patient presents with unilateral symptoms and unilateral neurophysiologic impairment, the possibility of a space-occupying lesion compressing the median nerve should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis. This study presents two cases with an occult ganglion in the carpal tunnel compressing the median nerve and causing unilateral symptoms of CTS. We stress on the importance of imaging studies in patients with unilateral symptoms that are usually not used in CTS. The reported patients were evaluated and magnetic resonance images revealed an intratunnel space-occupying lesion.
