Is carpal tunnel decompression warranted for HNPP?

Earle N1, Zochodne DW.Author information 1Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada.AbstractThe role of carpal tunnel decompression surgery for patients that have hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) is currently unknown. Since recovery from carpal tunnel compression is often associated with remyelination or nodal reconstruction rather than axonal regeneration, it is uncertain whether the PMP22 deletion associated with HNPP interrupts myelin or nodal reconstitution. We describe two patients with genetically confirmed HNPP and symptomatic carpal tunnel syndrome that had clinical and electrophysiological improvement after surgical decompression. The findings indicate a capacity for conduction repair in HNPP. They also suggest a need for further investigation and discussion around whether to offer carpal tunnel decompression to symptomatic HNPP patients.

Proximal median nerve entrapment caused by a distal biceps tendon cyst: an ultrasonographic diagnosis.

Kara M1, Yalçin S, Tiftik T, Özçakar L.Author information 1From the Ankara Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey (MK, SY, TT); and Department of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Hacettepe University Medical School, Ankara, Turkey (LÖ).AbstractA 60-yr-old woman reported severe pain in the proximal part of her left forearm. The pain was also radiating toward the median nerve-innervated areas of the arm, especially during elbow flexion. Ultrasonographic imaging showed a well defined ganglion cyst around the distal biceps tendon close to the median nerve. Under ultrasound guidance, the cyst was aspirated and corticosteroid injection was performed. The patient's complaint improved 1 wk after the injection, and she started to flex her elbow without any pain. This case highlights the role of ultrasonography as a useful adjunctive tool not only to morphologically confirm a peripheral nerve entrapment but also to uncover the possible underlying etiology and to guide precisely during an intervention.

[Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP): a diagnostic trap].

Ragois P1, Didailler P, Rizzi P.Author information 1Centre Orthopédique, 2, rue du Pressoir, 71640 Dracy le Fort, France. philippe.ragois@dracy.frAbstractThe authors report two clinical cases of a rarely observed pathology in orthopedic surgery daily practice: hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP), which leads to dysesthesiae, hypoesthesiae and regressive palsies. Onset, clinical signs and electromyographic abnormalities are described. Forensic consequences can occur in early postoperative period. Knowledge of this familial pathology allows precautionary measures at surgery and avoids unnecessary surgical revisions.
