Transverse ultrasonic image of the distal carpal tunnel at the level of the pisiform bone showed median nerve compression. The gap between “++” suggests the left-right diameter of the median nerve. The gap between “xx” suggests the anteroposterior diameter of the median nerve. The left-right diameter and anteroposterior diameter of the median nerve at the level of the hamate bone was 0.748 and 0.262 cm, respectively. H hamate bone; Tra trapezium bone; L lateral; M medial
