Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), also called median wrist mononeuropathy, is the most frequent nerve compression reaching up to 90%. Objective: To detail current information related carpal and its management, as well analyze conservative surgical treatment of this disease. Methodology: A total 27 articles were analyzed in review, including review original articles, clinical cases, wh...

  Anatomical vascular variations are rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. An aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. This article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radi...

We used electrophysiologic criteria to identify median mononeuropathy (MM) at the nondominant wrist among 414 patients enrolled in a multicenter study of patients with mild diabetic neuropathy according to consensus recommendations. Patients with absent sural or peroneal responses or greater than mild symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome were ineligible. Ninety-five of 414 participants (23%) fulf...

lipofibromatous hamartoma (lfh) is an extremely rare benign tumor, which is characterized by an excessive infiltration of the epineurium and perineurium by fibroadipose tissues. a 27-year-old woman was diagnosed with left carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) due to (lfh) of the median nerve. lfh was diagnosed by mri and sonography; the characteristic ultrasonographic feature of lfh showed a good correl...

Primary systemic amyloidosis is a rare entity. We report a case of primary systemic amyloidosis without any associated hematological abnormality who presented with macroglossia and hemorrhagic lesions around eyes and sub mammary region. There were soft lobulated masses around perianal region, labia majora and on external auditory meatus obstructing auditory canal. She was also operated for carp...
