Carpal tunnel syndrome is a most common peripheral compression neuropathy (1). It is caused by mechanical compression of the median nerve as it traverses the carpal tunnel of the wrist. Classic signs and symptoms are numbness of the lateral three digits and weakness of the thenar muscles due to atrophy (2). Important diagnostic tests include electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies. The gold standard for the surgical treatment is transection of the transverse carpal ligament.
