| Popis: | The absence or hypoplasia of the carpal scaphoid bone is rare and unfrequent, especially if isolated, as it is usually associated with other congenital disorders. Such anomaly is usually the result of fetal development alterations before week 11 of pregnancy. We introduce the case of a 53-year-old woman with chronic wrist pain and persistent pain after surgical intervention of the carpal tunnel syndrome in the left hand. X-rays and CT confirmed the patient’s hypoplasia of the scaphoid bone with carpal instability diagnosis. The patient became asymptomatic after surgical intervention and post-surgical rehabilitation. |
