| Popis: | Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome was observed in a 39-year-old female with gout. Until now carpal tunnel syndrome caused by gout has not been observed in females. Due to marked clinical symptoms neurolysis on the right side had to be performed. The course of the left hand affection was observed while on conservative treatment with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. As such therapy is possible and successful, it is mandatory to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome early in gout. Histology showed the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome to be uric acid tendovaginitis. |
