Abstract
Although certain local and systemic aetiologies for the carpal-tunnel syndrome are known, a large number of cases of this syndrome do not ha ve a conclusive aetiology. We present a case of histologically proven focal tenosynovial deposition of amyloid presenting as a rare cause of median nerve compression at the wrist.
