Increased incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome up to 10 years before diagnosis of diabetes.

چکیده
The frequency of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is increased in patients with peripheral neuropathy from a variety of causes (1). Abnormal glucose metabolism may be implicated in the etiology of “idiopathic” polyneuropathy in subjects who do not have diabetes (2). We investigated whether the incidence of CTS, Bell’s palsy, and other peripheral nerve disorders is increased before the diagnosis of diabetes.

متن کاملThe clinical significance of the palmaris longus tendon and functional superficial flexor of the little finger in the pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome
Abstract Background: The pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with increased intracarpal canal pressure. Recently, palmaris longus has been introduced as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with the presence of palmaris longus tendon and function...
