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.
腕管综合征在儿童中极为罕见，在几乎所有先前报道的病例中，它都是继发于某种潜在疾病。本文描述了三名13至14岁的特发性腕管综合征女孩，经肌电图证实，并通过手术减压得到缓解。儿童患者的一个显著特征是疼痛发作短暂但严重，这可能是主要症状。正确诊断对于避免不必要的检查很重要，如果有指征，该综合征可通过手术治愈。
