Abstract
Introduction

Nerve compression by anomalous masses located at the wrist and distal forearm is an infrequent condition. They may compress underlying structures in the carpal tunnel region, causing pain and paresthesias, which leads to the wrong diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Clinical cases

We present three cases of patients with symptomatology and clinical tests compatible with compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel but whose physical examination showed a soft mass in the distal region of the forearm which was compressing the median nerve, as demonstrated by ultrasound evaluation.

Discussion

The reported cases of accessory muscles or lipomas described in the literature as causes of median nerve compression clinic are mainly described only after the surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel, due to the maintenance of residual symptoms.

Conclusion

Careful examination with an ultrasound evaluation prior to surgery may help to identify these cases and help planning surgical treatment.

Resumen
Introducción

La compresión del nervio mediano por masas anómalas localizadas en la muñeca y en el antebrazo distal es una condición infrecuente. Las estructuras subyacentes en la región del túnel carpiano pueden ser comprimidas, causando dolor y parestesias, pudiendo llevar al diagnóstico erróneo de síndrome del túnel carpiano.

Casos clínicos

Se presentan 3 casos de pacientes con sintomatología y pruebas clínicas compatibles con compresión del nervio mediano en el túnel carpiano. Sin embargo, a la inspección presentaban leve edema en la región proximal del canal, y en la evaluación por ultrasonido se detectó sendas tumoraciones que comprimían el nervio mediano previo a su ingreso en el canal carpiano.

Discusión

En la literatura, los casos de músculos accesorios o lipomas como causas de compresión del nervio mediano son las causas más probables de persistencia de los síntomas tras la descompresión quirúrgica del canal carpiano.

Conclusión

La exploración clínica detallada junto con la evaluación ultrasonográfica antes de la cirugía pueden ayudar a identificar estos casos y planificar un mejor abordaje quirúrgico.

Introduction

Symptomatic compression neuropathy of the median nerve is a frequent entity.1 The most common cause of the median nerve compression is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) due to thickening of the anterior annular ligament.2 Nerve compression by anomalous masses located at the wrist and distal forearm is an infrequent condition.3

Accessory muscles and other masses, like lipomas, may compress underlying structures in the carpal tunnel region, causing pain and paresthesias, leading to the diagnosis of CTS, which can mislead to a wrong diagnosis of thickening of the anterior annular ligament.

Clinical cases

We present three cases of patients with symptoms and clinical tests (Tinel's and Phalen's) compatible with compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel who showed, on clinical examination, a soft tissue mass in the distal region of the forearm. The ultrasound (US) evaluation revealed a mass, of different aethiologies, compressing the median nerve.

Clinical case 1

A 31-year-old woman, whose electromyogram revealed a sensory latency of the left median nerve in the wrist, compatible with mild CTS, presented a soft tissue mass that, on US, corresponded to an accessory muscle. A wrist MRI showed a “muscle mass, which may correspond to an anatomical variant at this level and the median nerve shows a hypersignal proximal to the carpal tunnel.” A surgical exploration of the carpal tunnel was performed, allowing the identification and release of the median nerve and the excision of an exuberant muscular mass that corresponded to an accessory flexor digitorum superficialis indicis. After two months of follow-up, the patient referred total resolution of the complaints of paresthesia and neuropathic pain (Fig. 1A–D).

Clinical case 2.

Clinical case 3. J: Swelling of the forearm (circle); K: Ultrasound of normal forearm; L: Ultrasound of a hypoechoic mass that compressed the median nerve, suggestive of lipoma or muscle mass (arrow).

(0.26MB).
Clinical case 2

A 43-year-old woman, with an unremarkable electromyogram, was submitted to an US evaluation of the wrist, which revealed that the mass on the dorsal flexor surface corresponded to an hyperechoic mass compared to the surrounding hypoechoic fat, with fibrous capsule and no posterior acoustic enhancement. The MRI revealed “muscular groups of the volar surface of the distal forearm with mild hypersignal of the pronator quadratus, which may be due to overuse or translate innervation interfere”. The surgical exploration revealed a lipoma which was surgically extracted (Fig. 1E–I).

Clinical case 3

A 45-year-old woman, with a normal electromyogram, whose soft tissue mass on the forearm corresponded, on US evaluation, to a muscle mass that was compressing the median nerve. The patient is currently waiting for surgical releasing of the median nerve (Fig. 1J–L)

Discussion

CTS is one of the most common peripheral neuropathies in the upper extremity. It is defined as an entrapment syndrome of the median nerve at the level of the distal forearm.2 Median nerve compression at the wrist can also result from accessory flexor tendons or hypertrophic muscles. Although rare, these anatomic variances need to be considered, especially in the presence of a mass in the distal region of the forearm, such as in the reported cases. Lipomas are the most frequent human tumors and are generally asymptomatic. However, as in the clinical case 2, they can compress some structures, including nerves.4 In literature, the reported cases of accessory muscles and other masses causing median nerve compression are mainly described in patients with residual symptoms after the surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel.4,5

Conclusion

US evaluation prior to the median nerve decompression surgery is of upmost importance since it allows an adequate differential diagnosis, helping identifying these cases and planning surgical approach.
