Abstract

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the utmost common compressive central mono-neuropathy seen in medical practice, accounting for 90% of all neuropathies. Carpal tunnel syndrome presents in 3.8% of the overall population, with a higher prevalence among women. There are many risk factors related to CTS, including both medical and non-medical factors. The pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the median nerve compression and traction are thought to be complicated, and up to now don’t seem to be totally understood. This review aimed to provide an overview of the pathophysiology of median nerve neuropathy in the carpal tunnel, and subsequent development of CTS along with their diagnostic tools and treatment.
