Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Update on diagnosis and treatment Renato J. Verdugo MD Faculty of Medicine Clinica Alemana-Universidad del Desarrollo Santiago, Chile
Learning objectives To review some anatomical aspects of carpal tunnel and median nerve that are relevant to clinical practice To review clinical manifestations of the syndrome To discuss diagnostic methods, and their advantages and limitations To review the present state of different treatments
Key message In spite of its frequency, carpal tunnel syndrome continues to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for neurologists. As its treatment frequently implies surgical therapy, it is absolutely necessary to comprehensively apply the classical neurological method to reach a syndromatic, topographic and etiological diagnosis. Several surgical and non surgical therapeutic alternatives are available. This requires considering the etiology, severity and characteristics of the patient, to select the most appropriate treatment.
