Abstract
Acute carpal tunnel syndrome caused by pseudogout occurred in a Chinese patient. The radiological findings mimicked those of synovial chondromatosis. Such radiological findings were very unusual. Diagnosis of such conditions may be difficult, since the clinical features may be confused with those of gout and infection. Surgical release is the treatment of choice.
