Abstract
A 64‑year‑old woman with a 2‑year history of chronic
renal failure had undergone hemodialysis through
the arteriovenous fistula on her left forearm. Owing to
occlusion of the fistula, she received an arteriovenous
graft anastomosis of the brachial artery and basilic
vein. Thereafter, she started to feel numbness over
her palm, thumb, and first three fingers. Under the
impression of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), she was
treated with ultrasound diathermy over the wrist, but
her discomfort persisted even after 6 treatment sessions.
Eventually, she was referred for an ultrasonography (US)
examination (on the 3rd week of the operation).
