Carpal tunnel syndrome in pediatric mucopolysaccharidoses. Report of four cases.
Four pediatric patients with mucopolysaccharidoses and an associated carpal tunnel syndrome are presented. Findings in these cases were typical of the adult form of median nerve compression at the wrist, but the patients had minimal symptoms in view of these findings. The importance of careful clinical eximination and early surgical decompression is emphasized.
