Median Nerve Compression by Gouty Tophi: A Case Report
We describe a case of median nerve compression by gouty tophi. This is a rare condition and presented with loss of function with paraesthesia of both hands in addition to multiple tophis. Surgery was chosen for immediate relief, where a debulking of left flexor digitorum superficialis with decompression of carpal tunnel was done and resulted in improvement of symptoms but became complicated due to inadequate physiotherapy.
