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;
sometimes it is due to aberrant anatomy. A case of an anomalous first lumbrical muscle belly in a 52-year-old woman is described.
This patient was operated on without success. During the first intervention, nothing abnormal was observed. Due to the persistence
of symptoms, she was operated on again. In the second surgery, an anomalous first lumbrical muscle was detected and resected
with a good clinical result. These rare anatomical situations can cause symptoms and should be explored and corrected.

Lipofibromatous hamartoma of the median nerve: A case report and review of the literature

VS Patil, Sunila NagleIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery 2009 42(1):122-125A case of lipofibromatous hamartoma of the median nerve in an adult is described in this article. A 33-year-old male presented with tingling, numbness and swelling in the palm of the left non dominant hand that had been present for a few months. Examination revealed that there was fullness in the volar aspect of the wrist and in the inter-thenar area. Another mass was present at the base of the index finger, which appeared to be involving subcutaneous tissues. The clinical diagnosis was carpal tunnel syndrome due to a space occupying tumor mass in the carpal tunnel. On exploration of the carpal tunnel, a large median nerve was seen 4 cm proximal to the wrist crease line and extending distally until it divided into it…
