| Popis: | Purpose: To evaluate accuracy of ultrasound in assessment of the dynamic wrist movements upon the median nerve for cases of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy and need to get better diagnosis especially for equivocal or mild degree cases for better patient outcome. Materials and methods: 55 patients who diagnosed as idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome by nerve conduction studies and 25 control group undergoing dynamic wrist ultrasound examination for cross sectional area of median nerve, its shape and carpal tunnel inlet as well as outlet areas. Results: Cross sectional area inlet p value, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV was |
