Evaluation of axonal loss in ulnar sensory nerve fibers recorded from ring and little fingers secondary to idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome in Egyptian patients

Evaluation of axonal loss in ulnar sensory nerve fibers recorded from ring and little fingers secondary to idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome in Egyptian patients

Abstract Background The association between carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and ulnar nerve entrapment is unclear, and the extra-median paresthesia in the ulnar nerve territory innervation in CTS is unexplained. Our purpose is to evaluate the neurophysiologic changes in ulnar nerve sensory fibers secon...
