PERIPHERAL NERVE ENTRAPMENT IN PAGET'S DISEASE

Entrapment of the median and posterior tibial nerves in the carpal and tarsal tunnels, respectively, in Paget's disease, are described. In each, decompression resulted in a complete relief of sensory symptoms. Factors in the genesis of selective wasting of the thenar pad are outlined.
