Yöntemler: Elektrofizyolojik değerlendirme ile KTS tesbit edilen 23 el (DM-KTS), asemptomatik 47 el (DM) ve 50 sağlıklı el kontrol grubu (C), yüksek rezolüsyonlu ultrasonografiyle değerlendirildi. Median sinir kesit alanı (CSA) ve düzleşme oranı (FR), karpal tünel girişi [proksimal (p)] ve bilek kıvrımı [distal (d)] düzeylerden ölçüldü. Her iki el nötral pozisyonda iken radial ve ulnar arterler değerlendirildi. Bulgular: DM-KTS grubunda, CSA-p ve CSA-d değerleri DM ve C gruplarına göre anlamlı olarak daha büyüktü (p KW - Karpal tünel sendromu KW - kesit alanı KW - median sinir KW - ultrasonografi N2 - Objectives: This study aimed to research the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and to examine the flow characteristics of the radial and ulnar arteries in diabetic patients with CTS. Methods: A total of 23 diabetic hands diagnosed with CTS from electrophysiological evaluation (DM-CTS), 47 asymptomatic diabetic hands (DM) and 50 healthy hands (C) as the control group were evaluated with high resolution ultrasonography. The median nerve was measured in the cross-sectional area (CSA), flattening ratio (FR) and at the level of the carpal tunnel inlet [proximal (p)] and the wrist crease [distal (d)]. The radial and ulnar arteries were evaluated with both hands in a neutral position. Results: In the DM-CTS group, the CSA-p and CSA-d values were statistically signficantly greater compared to the DM and C groups (p CR - Perkins BA, Olaleye D, Bril V.
