Case report uncovers a rare cause of carpal tunnel syndrome, indicating MRI's role in diagnosis and planning.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent peripheral neuropathy, affecting a significant portion of the general population. Although anatomical variations are responsible for a small fraction of CTS cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to be an effective diagnostic tool, especially in detecting these variations and assisting in surgical planning. MRI is highly effective in identifying the anatomical factors linked to CTS and offers strong accuracy in distinguishing between normal and abnormal structures within the carpal tunnel.
