N2 - Objectives: To investigate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with ultrasound (US) in asymptomatic SSc patients and to seek out the relationship between CTS and SSc clinical variables Methods: In 64 SSc patients (55 women and 9 men, mean age 57±14 years) and in 30 healthy controls, area (MNA), transverse (MNT) and anteroposterior (MNAP) diameters of MN at carpal tunnel were studied with US (My Lab 25 XVG US Esaote 18 MHz). MN flattening ratio (MNFR) was calculated. Duration of disease, subset (limited, diffuse), phase of skin involvement (oedematous, atrophic, fibrotic), modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) and friction tendon rub were also recorded. Results: MNA (p
