Thrombosis of the Persistent Median Artery presenting as acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review

We present a case of a 40-year-old female with bifid median nerve and a persistent median artery (PMA) who presented with typical symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Ultrasound (US) revealed the anatomical variation and the presence of thrombosis of the PMA as the cause of symptoms. The aim of this report is to raise awareness about the clinical significance of this anatomical variation and to highlight the importance of US imaging for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Abstract

We present a case of a 40-year-old female with bifid median nerve and a persistent median artery (PMA) who presented with typical symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Ultrasound (US) revealed the anatomical variation and the presence of thrombosis of the PMA as the cause of symptoms. The aim of this report is to raise awareness about the clinical significance of this anatomical variation and to highlight the importance of US imaging for diagnosis and treatment planning.
