The authors evaluated the possibility of obtaining tridimensional images of the fibrotendinous structures of the carpal tunnel and interpreting their diagnostic meaning starting from high resolution axial images of computerized tomography. In all of the cases proposed 3D-CT allowed for a representation of the tendons of the flexor muscles and the transverse ligament of the carpus (when present) in a complete and totally original manner. Of particular importance is the choice of a correct threshold value in order to obtain diagnostic imaging.

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.
