摘要


由痛風引起的腕隧道症候群並不常見,若同時合併手指關節活動異常則更為少見。在這種情況下,必須高度懷疑腕隧道內的屈指肌腱也同時受到痛風石的影響。此時可優先考慮手術治療,除了可以減少正中神經的壓迫、確定痛風的診斷之外,亦可立即改善屈指肌腱的活動範圍。此個案的手指關節活動,在手術後便戲劇性地改善。

We describe a case of tophaceous gout with a combination of carpal tunnel syndrome and finger movement dysfunction. Carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to gout is uncommon. The concomitant presence of finger movement dysfunction is rare and suggests the involvement of the flexor tendons inside the carpal tunnel. Surgery is recommended to decompress the median nerve, to confirm the diagnosis, and for immediate improvement of flexor tendon excursion. Our patient's finger movement improved dramatically soon after surgery.
