Median Nerve and Ulnar Nerve Palsy Caused by Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystal Deposition Disease: Case Report

Pseudogout: A Rare Cause of Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Acute Guyon Canal Syndrome

“…Acute compression of the median and ulnar nerves is exceedingly rare, usually attributed to trauma or burns. Yamazaki et al 7 presented a case of median and ulnar nerve compression caused by tumoral CPPD disease, with both nerves affected by a 6 × 4-cm cystic mass of the volar wrist that had developed over the course of 1 year. Our patient did not have tumoral CPPD disease; however, she had considerable acute median and ulnar neuropathy.…”

“… 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 Acute deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals has also been implicated in acute CTS, along with tumoral calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) causing compression of the median and ulnar nerves. 5 , 6 , 7 Here, we present an uncommon case of new onset of pseudogout, presenting in the hand as both acute carpal tunnel syndrome and acute Guyon canal syndrome. The patient provided written informed consent for the use of deidentified health information and images for research and educational purposes.…”

Acute CPP Crystal Arthritis Presenting as Median Nerve Paralysis

“…Tests were positive for calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) dihydrate crystals, with a cell count of 70,837, leading to a diagnosis of acute CPP crystal arthritis. Fine-needle aspiration of the cyst resulted in some pain relief, and he was able to move his fingers slightly ( 1 , 2 ).…”
