We report a case of elderly female who was operated for presumed Carpal tunnel syndrome. However, her symptoms did not improve. The MRI of the patient revealed presence of perineural cysts at the level of C8\/T1 exiting nerve root, compressing it and causing the symptoms. We present the clinical, nerve conduction study and radiological presentation of cervical perineural cyst mimicking Carpal tunnel syndrome in this patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijri.ijri_414_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,13]],"date-time":"2021-01-13T18:26:02Z","timestamp":1610562362000},"page":"510-512","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Carpal tunnel syndrome or C8\/T1 radiculoneuropathy due to perinural cyst: A diagnostic conundrum"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Vikas","family":"Bhatia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radio-Diagnosis and Imaging, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neeraj","family":"Balaini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurology, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paramjeet","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radio-Diagnosis and Imaging, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1067","DOI":"10.1001\/archneurpsyc.1938.02270120017001","article-title":"Perineurial cysts of the spinal nerve roots","volume":"40","author":"I M Tarlov","year":"1938","journal-title":"Arch Neurol Psychiatry"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S387","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-011-1839-x","article-title":"Perineural cyst presenting like cubital tunnel syndrome","volume":"21","author":"F Bayrakli","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur Spine J"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.4184\/asj.2014.8.2.202","article-title":"Cervical perineural cyst masquerading as a cervical spinal tumor","volume":"8","author":"V P Josh","year":"2014","journal-title":"Asian Spine J"},{"key":"ref4","volume-title":"Entrapment neuropathies","author":"D M Dawson","year":"1999"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"6","article-title":"Carpal tunnel syndrome","volume":"77","author":"S Aroori","year":"2008","journal-title":"Ulster Med J"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-49008-1_12","volume-title":"Differential diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome","author":"P Amadio","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"293","article-title":"Prevalence and percutaneousdrainage of cysts of the sacral nerve root sheath (Tarlov cysts)","volume":"15","author":"R D Paulsen","year":"1994","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"851","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-196811000-00011","article-title":"Congenital spinal extradural cysts: Case report with review of literature","volume":"168","author":"R B Cloward","year":"1968","journal-title":"Ann Surg"},{"key":"ref9","first-page":"1047","article-title":"Symptomatic Tarlov cyst: Report and review","volume":"89","author":"P Chaiyabud","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Med Assoc Thai"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"767","DOI":"10.1016\/j.crad.2004.03.014","article-title":"Adult traumatic brachial plexus injury","volume":"59","author":"J J Rankine","year":"2004","journal-title":"Clin Radiol"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E565","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31817e2cc9","article-title":"Conservative management of perineural cysts","volume":"33","author":"R Mitra","year":"2008","journal-title":"Spine (Phila Pa 1976)."}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.4103\/ijri.IJRI_414_20.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,14]],"date-time":"2021-07-14T23:03:13Z","timestamp":1626303793000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.4103\/ijri.IJRI_414_20"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"04","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,14]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijri.ijri_414_20","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0971-3026","1998-3808"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0971-3026","type":"print"},{"value":"1998-3808","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]}}}
