Abstract

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common medical condition that remains one of the most common forms of median nerve compression at the wrist level. Although CTS is usually idiopathic, in some patients a certain etiology can be detected. Space-occupying lesions are known to cause CTS, and the incidence of space-occupying lesions in unilateral CTS is higher than in bilateral CTS. It is easy to detect a mass when it is palpable; however, hidden injuries are often overlooked. Cases of carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to ganglion cysts are rare in the literature.

We present the case of a patient with persistent carpal tunnel syndrome associated with the presence of a ganglion inside the carpal tunnel confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance.
