Abstract
SUMMARY.A carpal tunnel release was performed on a patient with recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome and asymptomatic hyperuricaemia with no prior history of gouty arthritis. Intraoperatively, the patient was found to have tenosynovitis without crystals or tophaceous deposits in the carpal tunnel. Postoperatively, the patient developed an acutely inflamed hand, which responded dramatically to anti-gout medications. We report this patient as an initial attack of gout after a carpal tunnel release.
