title: [Muscle anomalies as a cause of carpal tunnel syndrome].
abstract: Thus far, muscle anomalies in the carpal canal causing carpal tunnel syndrome have been reported for single cases only. The authors describe nine muscle anomalies of seven patients with the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Considering the existing literature and the own cases, they attempt to predict the incidence of muscle anomalies appearing in carpal tunnel syndrome and comment on the adequate treatment.
