Resumo
A síndrome do túnel do carpo (STC) é uma condição clínica resultante da compressão do nervo mediano no túnel do carpo. É a neuropatia de maior incidência no membro superior e apresenta diferentes etiologias, entre elas o distúrbio osteomuscular relacionado ao trabalho (DORT) e, mais raramente, a tumores de nervo periférico. O DORT é a etiologia mais comum da STC e vem aumentando sua incidência por causa de sua associação com o trabalho. Eentre os tumores que envolvem o nervo mediano está o schwannoma, ou neurilemoma, que também é o tumor benigno mais comum de nervos periféricos. Este relato almeja descrever um caso de schwannoma como etiologia da STC.
Abstract
The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a clinical condition resulting from compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. It is the neuropathy of higher incidence in the upper limb and as different etiologies, is related to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and rarely tumors of peripheral nerve. The WMSDs are the most common, and its incidence is increasing more and more due to the intimate association with type of work. Among the tumors involving median nerve is the Schwannoma, or neurilemoma. The Schwannoma is the most common benign tumor of the peripheral nerve. This report aims to describe a case of schwannoma as a cause of CTS.
