Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist due to any cause. Thus, this article has aimed to describe the vascular aspects of this syndrome. Three parts of this distal median nerve neuropathy compression are discussed, that is its etiology, pathophysiology and symptoms. Within the etiology, diseases related with an alteration of the vascular system that affect the carpal-continent have been considered. The methodology used in preparing this study included conducting a review of the literature in the following databases: MEDLINE, Cochrane, Peter, ClusterMed and Pubgle. The largest number of articles on the subject discussed was found in the Medline database. In conclusion, we can establish that this disease, which is apparently linked to a nerve, has a strong vascular component.
