A case of acute carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to septic arthritis of the wrist is reported. Treatment consisted of carpal tunnel release, incision and drainage of the wrist joint, intravenous injection of antibiotics, and delayed primary closure. The infection resolved and median nerve function promptly returned to normal. We believe this is the first report of septic arthritis of the wrist as a cause of acute carpal tunnel syndrome.
报告了一例继发于腕关节化脓性关节炎的急性腕管综合征病例。治疗包括腕管松解、腕关节切开引流、静脉注射抗生素以及延迟一期缝合。感染得到解决，正中神经功能迅速恢复正常。我们认为这是首例关于腕关节化脓性关节炎作为急性腕管综合征病因的报告。
