[Carpal tunnel syndrome--a leading symptom in generalized tendomyopathy].
Among 75 of 100 patients with generalized tendomyopathy, carpal-tunnel syndrome developed in the course of the disease and was demonstrated both clinically and electromyographically, requiring operative intervention in 10%. Furthermore, 17 of 26 patients previously operated on for carpal-tunnel syndrome, had chronic tendomyopathy requiring treatment, and in six there was severe generalized tendomyopathy. Thus generalized tendomyopathy can be the precipitating underlying disease in a large number of cases with so-called idiopathic carpal-tunnel syndrome.
