This syndrome consists of symptoms due to median nerve compression within the carpal canal. İn this study, 44 cases who were diagnosed as idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated ultrasonographically in order to demonstrate an etiological factor. While an etiological factor was determined in 34 of the cases by ultrasonography; no reason could be found in 10. Seventeen cases were treated surgically and ultrasonographic diagnosis was in corroboration of pathological results. These findings support the result that ultrasonography is an effective and easily applied method to identify the etiology in carpal tunnel syndrome .}, number={1}, publisher={Ege Üniversitesi}
