De Quervain syndrome, also called De Quervain tendinopathy, occurs when two tendons that control movement of the thumb become enlarged where they pass through their sheath at the wrist. Its characteristic symptoms are pain and tenderness on the thumb side of the wrist, with radial abduction of the thumb causing pain and, in some cases, uneven movement or triggering of the thumb and wrist. Symptoms can develop gradually or appear suddenly.
