Digital Ischemia After Carpal Tunnel Injection: A Case Report
چکیده انگلیسی

Payne JM, Brault JS. Digital ischemia after carpal tunnel injection: a case report.A 51-year-old woman described paresthesias in her right thumb, index, and middle fingers consistent with carpal tunnel syndrome. Using a sterile technique, a 25-G, 1¼-in needle was introduced ulnar to the palmaris longus tendon, and a mixture of 1.5mL of 40mg/mL of triamcinolone acetonide and 1.5mL of 1% lidocaine was injected. After the injection, the patient's hand exhibited signs of ischemia including coolness and discoloration. Rewarming of the hand with paraffin was performed immediately, and normative color returned. At follow-up visits, the patient described burning in the hand, and blotchiness of the digits was noted. A magnetic resonance imaging angiogram of the right wrist showed a single deep palmar arch. Electromyography and nerve conduction study weeks after the injection showed bilateral median neuropathies, moderately severe on the right and mild on the left. She underwent an open carpal tunnel release 6 weeks postinjection. The patient did well and returned to her job without restrictions. The exact etiology of the hand ischemia is unclear but may be related to vasospasm as has been described in the spine-injection literature. Regardless of the etiology, this case shows an uncommon adverse event in a commonly performed procedure and raises questions for further review.
