Introduction:Carbai tunnel syndrome[CTS] is compression of the median nerve at the wrist
, this causes tingling in the hands,pain, numbness, tingling in the fingers particularly
the thumb, index and middle fingers,loss of sensation in the hands and fingers, also weakness
in the hands.The aim
of the present study was to study a possible association which could be
found between electrophysiological data in CTS, BMI, hyperlipidemia, and vitamin
D[Vit D]
levels. Methods:We used a sample of 40 females
of the same age group, who were divided into Group 1 as a control consists of 18 healthy females and
Group II consisted of 22 age matched females with clinical and electrophysiological
evidence of CTS. We measured atherogenic index[AI] as a marker of hyperlipidemia, body mass index [BMI],Vit D status and electrophysiological
tests of CTS.Results: Subjects with CTS had deficient Vit D status,they had significantly high atherogenic index(AI), and significant high
BMI all compared to control Group I. Median sensory conduction velocity was significantly
correlated negatively with BMI and atherogenic index, and positively correlated
significantly with Vit D status.But
