The aetiology of carpal tunnel syndrome in about 50% of patients is not clear. These patients are frequently older woman. Measurements of the carpal tunnel cross-sectional area in eleven female patients revealed a narrow carpal tunnel as compared with female or male controls. Primary carpal tunnel stenosis as a cause of entrapment of the median nerve is postulated.
约50%的腕管综合征患者病因不明。这些患者多为老年女性。对11名女性患者的腕管横截面积测量结果显示，与女性或男性对照组相比，其腕管狭窄。推测原发性腕管狭窄是正中神经受压的原因。
