ABSTRACT

El Síndrome Tunelar Carpiano (S.T.C.) es la neuropatía por atrapamiento más frecuente del miembro superior. Existe en la literatura considerable discrepancia respecto a la sensibilidad y especificidad de síntomas y signos relacionados al S.T.C.. El objetivo de esté estudio fue determinar la validez diagnóstica de los síntomas y signos clínicos típicos de S.T.C. en pacientes con diagnósticos positivos por Estudio neurofisiológico (Gold Standard diagnóstico). Se estudiaron prospectivamente 73 manos con diagnóstico presuntivo de S.T.C.. Los mejores predictores de diagnóstico positivo de S.T.C. fueron: parestesias nocturnas que mejoran con el "shaking", falta de discriminación de dos puntos y atrofia tenar.


Carpal Tunner Syndrome (C.T.S.) is the most frequently recognized entrapment neuropathy on upper limbs. In the literature, there is a considerable disagreement about signs` and symptoms` sensibility and specificity related to C.T.S.. Our objective was to determine the diagnosis validity of typical signs and symptoms of C.T.S. in patients with positive neurophysiologic diagnosis (Gold Standard diagnosis). In a prospective way, we studied 73 hands with presumptive diagnosis of C.T.S.. The best predictors for a positive diagnosis were: numbness at night that reduce with shaking, impossibility to discriminate two points and thenar atrophy.
