Amaç: Karpal Tünel Sendromu (KTS), median sinir tuzağına bağlı sık görülen periferal tuzak nöropatidir.
Ultrasonografi (USG), son yıllarda karpal tünel ve median sinirin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan ucuz ve
rahat uygulanabilen bir tekniktir.
Yöntem: KTS bulgusu, semptomları ve elektromyelografik tanısı olan 21 hastada 35 ve 20 sağlıklı olguda
40 el bileği 7.5-12 MHz prob kullanılarak USG eşliğinde değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: 21 KTS ‘li olguda 35 el bileğinin tamamı ve sağlıklı 20 sağlıklı olguda 40 el bileği doğru olarak
değerlendirildi.
Sonuç: Yüksek rezolüsyonlu USG, KTS tanısında tercih edilecek ilk basamak görüntüleme tekniği olabilir.
