Abstract
ÖZET Çalışmamızda amacımız karpal tünel sendromlu (KTS) hastalarda klinik, elektronörografık(ENG) ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme(MRG) bulgulannın uyumunu araştırmaktı. Bu amaçla 21 KTS'li olgunun toplam 30 el bileği kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldı. MRG'de median sinir sinyalinde artış, median sinir volümünde artış, fleksör tenosinovit ve fleksör tendinit bulguları araştırıldı. Çalışmada 14 bilekte median sinir sinyalinde artış(p>0.05), 18 bilekte median sinir volümünde artış(p>0.05), 11 bilekte fleksör tenosinovit(p>0.05) ve 25 bilekte fleksör tendinit(p<0.05) tespit edildi. Bu bulgulardan sadece fleksör tendinit bulgusu normal olgularla karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu. Hastaların klinik-ENG ve ENG-MRG bulguları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir uyum bulunamadı(p>0.05). Bu çalışmada, MRG yönteminin KTS'li hastaların tanısında çok duyarlı bir tetkik olmamasına rağmen, etiyoloji ve tedavinin belirlenmesinde ve hastaların takiplerinde kullanılabilecek yardımcı bir yöntem olabileceği kanısına vardık. Anahtar kelimeler: Karpal tünel sendromu, elektronörografı, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme. IV
ABSTRACT In this study we aimed to investigate the correlation between clinical, electroneurographic(ENG) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) findings in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. We compared 30 wrists of 21 carpal tunnel patients with control group. Increase in signal intensity and volume of median nerve, flexor tenosynovitis and flexor tendinitis were searched by MRI. Increased signal of the median nerve was seen in 14 of 30 wrists (p>0.05), increased volume of the median nerve was seen in 18 of 30 wrists(p>0.05), increased flexor tenosynovitis was seen in 11 of 30 wrists(p>0.05), increased flexor tendinitis was seen in 25 of 30 wrists(p<0.05). The only statistically significant difference found between patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and asymptomatic subjects was flexor tendinitis. No statistically significant difference was found between clinical and ENG findings(p>0.05) and between ENG and MRI findings(p>0.05). Although MRI findings are not sufficiently sensitive or specific to establish the diagnosis of CTS, MRI can help to determine the etiology and make treatment decisions and also can be used as a follow-up method. Key words: Carpal tunnel syndrome, electroneurography, magnetic resonance imaging.
