Abstract

Congenital radial dysplasia is a rare disease with the defect or hypoplasia of radial side of forearm and hand. Congenital radial dysplasia is often accompanied by deformities of other parts. However, carpal tunnel syndrome caused by congenital radial dysplasia is very rare. We report one case of 53-year-old man with congenital radial dysplasia who underwent surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.
