    This case report details a 61-year-old female with diffuse scleroderma and carpal tunnel syndrome. It reviews the co-occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome with dermatomyositis and lupus erythematosus.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Neurology
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues.
    • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist.
    • The co-occurrence of CTS with autoimmune diseases like scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and lupus erythematosus is relatively uncommon.

    Purpose:

    • To report a case of a 61-year-old female patient diagnosed with diffuse scleroderma complicated by carpal tunnel syndrome.
    • To review the existing literature on the coexistence of carpal tunnel syndrome with other autoimmune connective tissue diseases, specifically dermatomyositis and lupus erythematosus.

    Summary:

    • A 61-year-old female patient with diffuse scleroderma presented with symptoms indicative of carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Diagnostic evaluation confirmed the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome in the patient with scleroderma.
  • A literature review explored the association between carpal tunnel syndrome and other autoimmune conditions, including dermatomyositis and lupus erythematosus.

    • Impact:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering carpal tunnel syndrome in patients with scleroderma presenting with relevant symptoms.
    • The review provides insights into the potential shared pathophysiological mechanisms or associations between these autoimmune conditions.
    • Understanding these associations can aid in earlier diagnosis and comprehensive management of patients with overlapping autoimmune and neurological conditions.
