title: Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by an intraosseous ganglion of the capitate.
abstract: Intraosseous ganglions often arise in the foot and ankle but are less common within the carpal bones. We present a case of an intraosseous ganglion of the capitate bone associated with compression of the median nerve that was seen on plain radiographs and magnetic resonance images.
