Abstract
We report a rare case of carpal tunnel syndrome due to heterotopic ossification in the carpal tunnel in a 34-year-old woman without antecedents of neurological injury, musculoskeletal trauma, or metabolic disorder. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case. Incomplete excision of heterotopic ossification resulted in partial relief of symptoms.
