An 89 year-old male was admitted to hospital presenting oedema, reduced sensibility, paraesthesia and reduced mobility of both hands. EMG was in accordance with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. An elevated sedimentation rate was found and biopsy from the temporal artery showed arteritis. During glucocorticoid treatment the symptoms disappeared and the EMG and sedimentation rate returned to normal.
