Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by an anomalous muscle belly of the index finger lumbrical

Abstract  Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy of the upper extremity. It usually occurs without any extrinsic cause;

with a good clinical result. These rare anatomical situations can cause symptoms and should be explored and corrected.

Conclusion  While DIEP flap surgery for breast reconstruction provides favorable results, patients frequently require additional procedures

surgery, and patients should recognize the likelihood of at least one additional procedure following initial reconstruction.
