Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions treated in orthopedic and hand surgery clinics and is the most common reason for peripheral neuropathy in adults. Because it is rare in children, information about it is mostly from reports in scientific forums and small case series described in the literature. The present review describes the etiology, clinical course, diagnosis and treatment of the syndrome in children.

Key words: storage diseases, idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome, surgical decompression
