Idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compressive peripheral neuropathy. Recently, the radiologic, histologic, biomechanical studies for idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome have been performed in view point of its pathophysiology. Through this paper, Authors have reviewed the recent reported studies for the pathophysiology of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome and tried to suggest direction in future study.

Background: Vitamin B12 is one of the common drugs used by physicians to treat peripheral neuropathy (PN), although many patients have a good response, however, overdose and toxicity aggravate the condition and worsen the patient’s symptoms. The purpose of this paper is to highlight association between Vitamin B12 toxicity and deterioration of PN symptoms. Case Summary: An elder Sudanese man with acute onset of sensory PN, the patient’s symptoms started by tingling sensations and paresthesia affecting both hands and feet. After patient received cobalamin (vitamin B 12) prescribed by his doctor, the patient symptoms were markedly aggravated and his condition worsened to extend that impaired the normal patient ordinary work. No symptoms related to motor system. Other possible etiologies were studied and excluded. Investigations of his condition revealed blood level of B12 was 1900 pg/mL, the patient condition improved dramatically with discontinuation of the drug. Conclusion Cobalamin toxicity aggravate sensory PN symptoms. Clinicians are advised to adjust the dose and check Cobalamin level before and during treatment to avoid its toxicity.

The Korean Diabetes Association (KDA) published the 3rd edition of the diabetic neuropathy management guidebook in 2010. This publication has been recognized as the definitive guide for the clinical management of diabetic neuropathy in the Korean medical system. In this report, we provide a modified summary of the 3rd edition of the diabetic neuropathy management guidebook. We hope this summary will serve as a helpful reference in the daily clinical practice of diabetes care.
