The median nerve innervates the wrist and sends cutaneous sensory branches to innervate the palm, the palmar aspect of the first three digits, and the radial half of the fourth digit. The median nerve also innervates the superficial flexors, the pronator teres, the flexor pollicis longus and brevis, the abductor pollicis, the lateral aspect of the flexor digitorum profundus, the pronator quadratus, the first and second lumbricals, and the interossei of the hand [2]. Compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel causes compression neuropathy and median nerve dysfunction, including numbness and paresthesias of the tips of the thumb and the first two fingers. The condition is frequently bilateral . Women are affected more often than men .
