Post-permanent access neuropathy

P R Bosanac, B Bilder, R W Grunberg

    Transactions - American Society for Artificial Internal Organs
    |January 1, 1977

    Summary

    Carpal tunnel syndrome can occur independently of uremic polyneuropathy in patients with forearm arteriovenous fistulas. Surgical decompression of intraneural vascular compression provides rapid symptom relief.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition.
    • Uremic polyneuropathy (UPN) can cause peripheral neuropathy in patients with chronic kidney disease.
    • CTS can occur independently of UPN.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe cases of CTS independent of UPN.
    • To investigate the cause of CTS in patients with forearm arteriovenous (AV) fistulas.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of intraneural neurolysis for this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series of 4 patients.
    • Surgical exploration and operative findings.
    • Intraneural neurolysis procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Four patients presented with CTS symptoms unrelated to UPN.
    • Operative findings revealed intraneural vascular compression associated with forearm AV fistulas.
    • Intraneural neurolysis led to immediate and significant symptom improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • CTS can be a distinct complication in patients with forearm AV fistulas.
    • Intraneural vascular compression is the likely etiology.
    • Surgical intervention, specifically intraneural neurolysis, is an effective treatment for this condition.
