75 adult females aged between 35–60 years having carpal Tunnel syndrome were selected for study. MRI and Electronerography (ENG) was done for confirmation. Among 75 patients of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) 7 (9.3%) were Idiopathic, 6 (8%) were genetic, and remaining had secondary causes were Diabetes mellitus 12 (16%), Thyroid dysfunction 16 (21.3%), menopausal 10 (13.3%), Sedentary life 11 (14.6%), pregnancy 08(10.6%), Inflammatory arthiditis of wrist joint were 05(6.6%). Although CTS has unknown etiology but symptoms of CTS aggravated by secondary causes will certainly help the Orthopedician, Radiologist, and Physician to rule out the causes CTS can be treated efficiently most of the secondary causes are related to Endocrine diseases, hence before surgical intervention these secondary causes cannot be ignored to avoid post surgical complications.
