[Muscle anomalies as a cause of carpal tunnel syndrome]. 1987

W Weissenborn, and W Sabri

Thus far, muscle anomalies in the carpal canal causing carpal tunnel syndrome have been reported for single cases only. The authors describe nine muscle anomalies of seven patients with the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Considering the existing literature and the own cases, they attempt to predict the incidence of muscle anomalies appearing in carpal tunnel syndrome and comment on the adequate treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand.

D002349 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Entrapment of the MEDIAN NERVE in the carpal tunnel, which is formed by the flexor retinaculum and the CARPAL BONES. This syndrome may be associated with repetitive occupational trauma (CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS); wrist injuries; AMYLOID NEUROPATHIES; rheumatoid arthritis (see ARTHRITIS, RHEUMATOID); ACROMEGALY; PREGNANCY; and other conditions. Symptoms include burning pain and paresthesias involving the ventral surface of the hand and fingers which may radiate proximally. Impairment of sensation in the distribution of the median nerve and thenar muscle atrophy may occur.
