[Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome as a rare cause of carpal tunnel syndrome--case report].
The case of a 12-year-old girl with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome and the signs of median nerve entrapment is reported. A cavernous haemangioma surrounding the median nerve is thought to be responsible for the carpal tunnel syndrome through mechanical compression and ischemic damage to the nerve due to the changed haemodynamic situation in the carpus.
