Abstract

AIm: The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the commonest compressive neuropathy. Electromyography (EMG) is accepted as gold standard in diagnosis of CTS. However, pathologies and variations that are associated with a various findings may lead to failure. mAterIAl and methOds: Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) was applied to 69 wrists of 55 patients, who received a diagnosis of CTS by means of clinical and electrodiagnostic testing (EDT) during the years 2011 and 2013. results: We detected a total of 71 additional pathologies in MRI analyses: 29 degenerative bone cysts, 28 ganglion cysts, 8 tenosynovitis, and 6 avascular necroses. While the MRI detected 44 (59.5%) additional radiological pathologies in 39 wrists diagnosed with mid-level CTS by means of EMG, the number of detected additional pathologies was 27 (36.5%) in 30 wrists diagnosed with advanced-level CTS. COnClusIOn: Wrist MRI is an effective means to reveal associated pathologies in patients diagnosed with CTS by means of clinical testing and EDT. Additional pathologies may not only change the applicable type of surgery, but also decrease the number of postoperative failures. Wrist MRI is recommended, especially for young cases with unilateral CTS history accompanied by dubious clinical symptoms and lacking any pronounced predisposing factors.

Özet

AmAÇ: Karpal tünel sendromu (KTS) nöroşirürji pratiğinde en sık opere edilen kompresif nöropatidir. Tanıda standart olarak elektromiyografi (EMG)'den yararlanılmaktadır. Bununla beraber olguların bir bölümünde eşlik eden patolojiler ve varyasyonlar nedeni ile başarısızlık ile karşılaşılabilir. yÖntem ve GereÇler: 2011 ve 2013 yılları arasında klinik ve elektrodiyagnostik testlerle (EDT) KTS tanısı alan 55 hastanın 69 el bileğine manyetik rezonans incelemesi (MRİ) yapılmıştır. BulGulAr: MRİ'de toplam 71 ek patoloji saptandı. Buna göre 29 dejeneratif kemik kisti, 28 ganglion kisti, 8 tenosinovit ve 6 avasküler nekroz saptandı. EMG'de orta şiddette KTS saptanan 39 el bileğinde radyolojik olarak 44 (% 61) adet ek patoloji saptanırken, şiddetli KTS saptanan 30 bilekte MRİ'de 27(% 38) adet ek patoloji saptandı. Tek taraflı olgularda 52 (% 61,7) ek patoloji görülürken, bilateral olgularda 19 (46,4%) ek patoloji görüldü. sOnuÇ: Klinik ve EDT ile KTS tanısı alan hastalarda bilek MRİ eşlik eden patolojileri ortaya koyabilmektedir. Ek patolojiler uygulanacak cerrahi şeklini değiştirebileceği gibi, postoperatif başarısızlığı da azaltılacaktır. Özellikle belirgin predispozan faktörü olmayan, tek taraflı KTS öyküsü bulunan, kliniğinde şüpheli semptomları olan olgularla ve endoskopik cerrahi planlanan hastalara el bileği MRİ önerilir.
