  • Title: MR demonstration of a persistent median artery in carpal tunnel syndrome.
    Author: Zeiss J, Guilliam-Haidet L.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1993; 17(3):482-4. PubMed ID: 8491917.
    Abstract:
    The median artery of the forearm appears early in embryological development and normally involutes before birth. In rare cases, it persists into adult life. Although usually asymptomatic, it can be a cause for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This report describes the MR appearance of a persistent median artery in a patient with CTS. The symptoms were relieved after resection of the aberrant vessel.
