Abstract

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease typically involves the wrist joint in the form of calcifications of the triangular fibrocartilage and the distal radioulnar joint. We describe an 87-year-old male who presented to us with asymptomatic form of deposition with multiple flexor tendon calcifications causing chronic median nerve compression. Simple carpal tunnel decompression relieved his median nerve symptoms.
