Selective motor neuropathy of the median nerve caused by a ganglion in the carpal tunnel.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the commonest peripheral compressive neuropathy. Typically, sensory symptoms predominate at presentation with motor dysfunction seen in more chronic cases. Isolated motor compression is rare. We present a case of selective median nerve motor neuropathy caused by a carpal tunnel ganglion.
