Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) caused by pseudogout is an uncommon disease. The authors report a 65-year-old female who complained of sudden pain and neurological symptoms on her left hand. Surgical decompression was performed. In the histologic study, a calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposit was confirmed. Her pain and neurological symptoms were relieved. Because CTS caused by pseudogout is rare, it is difficult to differentiate it from other diseases. This paper reports an uncommon case of CTS caused by pseudogout.

가성통풍으로 인한 수근관 증후군은 드물게 발생한다. 저자들은 수근관 내 종괴로 인한 급성 정중신경 압박 증세로 내원한 65세 여자환자에게 종괴 절제술과 횡수근 인대 절개술을 시행하고 조직검사를 통해 가성통풍으로 진단된 증례를 경험하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
