Abstract

A patient with an initial misdiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is presented. The clinical manifestations were suggestive of such diagnosis, but there were some anamnesis and exploratory aspects requiring to establish a differential diagnosis. Painful syndrome was caused by a brachial plexus compression at the costoclavicular region due to a subclavicular hematoma in a patient under anticoagulant treatment. Carpal tunnel pathology is a frequent cause of neuropathy, however others diagnosis should be ruled out as shown in the present case.
