Abstract
|
|
|
|
The accessory palmaris longus is a rare anatomical variant in the wrist and forearm, which has been reported as the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. This paper reports a case of the accessory palmaris longus incidentally found during carpal tunnel surgery. The paucity of awareness on the accessory palmaris longus in carpal tunnel surgery may lead to accidental iatrogenic injury to the median nerve or insufficient decompression of the median nerve.
