Clin Case Rep. 2017 Feb 23;5(4):414-418. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.840. eCollection 2017 Apr.

Abstract

The coexistence of median and cervical nerve root damage might hide a complex pathophysiology. Here, we describe and discuss the case of a patient suffering from numbness and painful tingling of the hand, whose symptoms were effectively treated with pulsed radiofrequency and epidural administration of bupivacaine and morphine.

Keywords: Carpal tunnel syndrome; dorsal root ganglion; double‐crush syndrome; epidural treatment; pulsed radiofrequency.
