Pronator teres syndrome (PTS) is a rare peripheral neuropathy of the proximal median nerve that occurs due to compression of the pronator teres muscle or its surrounding anatomical structures. Treatment options in cases of pronator syndrome include conservative therapy (oral, physical, intervention) to surgical therapy. Dextrose hydrodissection with ultrasound guided is an interventional therapy option in cases of peripheral neuropathy. This study presented a case of 50 year old female with chronic pronator teres syndrome who received ultrasound-guided 5% dextrose hydrodissection therapy and experienced satisfactory resolution within 6 months of post injection evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
