Evidence of tendon enlargement , intratendinous high signal and peritendinous free fluid at first dorsal compartment of the wrist are noted, involving the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB). The extensor retinaculum overlying these tendons appears intact with no obvious reactive marrow edema.
Case Discussion
The noncontrast MRI of wrist joint shows mild tendon enlargement with edema and peritendinous rim of free fluid at the APL and EPB tendons : findings are compatible with De Quervians tenosynovitis.
