Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is generally an idiopathic disorder, which occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel.[1 ] CTS is the most commonly seen entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremities. The diagnosis should be confirmed by electrodiagnostic methods in patients without objective sensory and motor deficits.[2 ] When the conventional measures are normal, the study of comparative nerve conduction studies increases the sensitivity of the diagnosis by 9-11%.[3 ]
Polyneuropathy (PNP) and CTS are quite common in patients with diabetes mellitus. It is reported that ...
