Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the syndrome of peripheral nerve entrapment more common throughout the world, represents the 90% of all neuropathy, with a higher prevalence among women. This review aimed to provide an overview of the syndrome. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and/or pain in lateral ventral-hand, possibly atrophy and weakness tenar, that is usually worse at night. Carpal tunnel syndrome has a profile of predisposing risk factors that include individual factors, comorbidities and occupational risk factors, and these are noted briefly. This review discusses the anatomy of the carpal tunnel, pathophysiological mechanisms, its causes, clinical presentation of this syndrome, as well as the classification, diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Finally, there is a paucity of evidence on the best approaches for evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome and to guide treatment decisions. Although the best way to integrate clinical, functional and anatomical information to select treatment options has not been identified, patients can be diagnosed quickly and respond well to treatment.
