Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II) is a rare genetic disorder. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common finding in these patients.
We report the ultrasound findings in a 40 year old Hunter syndrome patient with severe CTS.
Marked abnormalities of the median nerve were present proximal to the carpal tunnel with an unusual area of increased echogenicity between enlarged fascicles separating the area of maximal enlargement and the normal median nerve proximally.
This case demonstrated unique ultrasound findings in a Hunter syndrome with CTS. Ultrasound also localized the median nerve lesion in the setting of end-stage median neuropathy and non-localizing electrophysiology. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 December 2015.
All research outputs
#18,791,005
of 27,276,278 outputs
Outputs from Muscle & Nerve
#2,372
of 3,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#248,105
of 399,175 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Muscle & Nerve
#27
of 47 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,276,278 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,345 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,175 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 47 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
