De Quervain syndrome, also known as De Quervain tendinopathy, occurs when two tendons that control movement of the thumb become enlarged where they pass through their tendon sheath at the wrist. The characteristic symptoms are pain and tenderness on the thumb side of the wrist, and radial abduction of the thumb is painful; on some occasions there is uneven movement or triggering of the thumb and wrist with radial abduction. Symptoms can come on gradually or be noticed suddenly.
