Objectives/Interrogation: As one of the most common entrapement neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome raises significant costs through surgery and rehabilitation.

Methods: Although the diagnosis is mostly clinical, additional evaluation may be useful for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment management.

Results and Conclusions: In cases with divergent clinical and EMG findings, MRI may be helpful in selecting patients who would benefit from surgical release.
