Abstract:

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common neuropathy that affects millions of Americans, at times causing symptoms or disability severe enough to mandate surgery and negatively impact the US economy. While connective tissue, endocrine, and metabolic disorders are often responsible for bilateral disease, the current study describes a case where a patient with bilateral disease was found to have a mass-occupying lesion on the more symptomatic side, a phenomenon not reported in the literature previously. While previous studies indicate that mass-occupying lesions should be considered in unilateral disease, the current study demonstrates that clinical suspicion should remain in patients with bilateral disease as well.
