title: Selective motor neuropathy of the median nerve caused by a ganglion in the carpal tunnel.
abstract: 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.
