Dextrose hydrodissection with ultrasound-guided as optional therapy in pronator teres syndrome: A case report

Abstract

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.
