Abstract:
Intra-neural injection is a rare but serious complication of carpal tunnel steroid injection. We present
a case of central median nerve injury following injection where nerve ultrasound identified the lesion
within the substance of the median nerve. Most needle injuries will respond to conservative treatment,
and can be conveniently assessed, monitored and potentially prevented by using ultrasound.
