Purpose of the Study: This report was prepared to call the surgeon’s attention to the presence of the rare muscle-Palmaris profundus-, (and) its proximity to the radial artery and median nerve, and its possibility to compress the median nerve in the carpal tunnel.
The Case Report: In the course of an anatomical dissection, the rare muscle-Palmaris profundus–which has the potential to cause carpal tunnel syndrome, was found on the right upper extremity of an embalmed cadaver.
Result: In patients with a negative history of synovialitis, trauma and metabolic disease one has to consider rare muscle variations as a cause of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.Keywords: Carpal Tunnel SyndromeTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2003, 23:403-406
