Abstract
A case of congenital carpal tunnel syndrome associated with melorheostosis is described. The symptoms were lack of use of the hand since birth, hypotrophy of the fingers innervated by the median nerve, and severe atrophy of the thenar muscles. The total degeneration of the nerve in the carpal tunnel was successfully treated with a sural nerve graft.Entities:
