Background:
A rare case of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by a thrombosed persistent median artery is presented here.
Case:
The diagnosis was delayed due to the overlapping cervical radiculopathy. Acute severe pain and nocturnal paresthesia were chief complaints. Ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography angiography revealed that the median nerve was compressed by the occluded median artery. Instead of surgery, conservative therapy was tried. It worked well for six months.
Conclusions:
The importance of using modalities for decision making of diagnosis and treatment is emphasized in this report.
