Recurrent atraumatic acute carpal tunnel syndrome due to hematoma caused by distal radioulnar joint arthritis during anticoagulant treatment with apixaban
Komura, S., Hirakawa, A., Masuda, T. et al.Elbow
Atraumatic acute carpal tunnel syndrome is a rare type of median nerve neuropathy caused by etiologies that increase compartment pressure in the carpal tunnel. This report describes a patient with flexor tendon abrasion as an unusual complication of distal radioulnar joint arthritis. This abrasion caused a hematoma to form in the carpal tunnel during anticoagulant treatment with apixaban, resulting in recurrent acute carpal tunnel syndrome.
