| description | Tubercular tenosynovitis of the wrist with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a rare occurrence. The authors present a case of tubercular flexor tenosynovitis of the wrist with CTS. A 60-year-old female presented with complaints of swelling in the volar aspect of the right wrist with numbness of the first three fingers for the past 6 months. Clinical and radiological diagnosis of chronic flexor tenosynovitis with median nerve compression neuropathy was made. The patient was operated with carpal tunnel release and total tenosynovectomy. Histopathology showed features suggestive of Koch's etiology. The patient was started with antitubercular therapy (ATT) and followed up regularly. Carpal tunnel symptoms subsided immediately after surgery and there was no recurrence of swelling at the last follow-up. Carpal tunnel release and tenosynovectomy should be performed at the earliest possible and followed up with ATT for better outcomes in tubercular tenosynovitis of the wrist with CTS. |
