Carpal tunnel syndrome is typically diagnosed from history and physical
examination then confirmed with electrodiagnosis. Electrodiagnosis provides only
limited anatomic information and evaluation of space-occupying lesions. The
authors present two cases in which demonstrated flexor pollicis longus
tenosynovitis coexistent with carpal tunnel syndrome was diagnosed with
ultrasonography. Ultrasonography is an effective modality that enhances the
investigation of diseases in the soft tissues of the wrist and the hand. It can
be useful in directing specific treatment by increasing diagnostic accuracy.
