| Résumé : |
Carpal tunnel syndrome is extremely rare in childhood and in almost all previously reported cases it has been secondary to some underlying condition. Three 13- to 14-year-old girls are described with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome, confirmed by EMG and relieved by surgical decompression. A noteworthy feature in children is short-lasting but severe attacks of pain, which may be the main symptom. Correct diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary examinations and, if indicated, the syndrome can be cured by surgery. |
