Abstract
In this revision, we will try to address the entrapment neuropathies of the median nerve, from a clinical and practical approach, so as the family physicians or non-specialist practitioners can know more about these pathologies. Despite Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is by far the most common entrapment neuropathy, we should know that not all the pains or paresthesias in the volar side of the hand or forearm are due to CTS. We will deliberately avoid too many anatomic data or specific treatment details, of limited utility in general practice. Nevertheless, in the references the reader can get much more information. If this paper can clarify several questions regarding the median nerve compression, signs and symptoms, the authors will feel more than happy, as this is our main objective.
