    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Thenar eminence hypoplasia is a rare condition affecting the muscles of the thumb base.
    • Differential diagnosis for carpal tunnel syndrome often includes various neuropathies and anatomical variations.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with unilateral hypoplasia of the thenar eminence.
    • Clinical examination revealed specific muscle weakness and sensory changes consistent with thenar involvement.

    Findings:

    • Electrodiagnostic studies (e.g., electromyography and nerve conduction studies) showed abnormalities.
    • Radiological imaging confirmed the developmental nature of the thenar muscle underdevelopment.

    Implications:

    • Unilateral thenar hypoplasia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate patient management and treatment planning.
  • This case highlights the importance of integrating clinical, electrodiagnostic, and imaging data.
