title: [Carpal tunnel syndrome in children. Apropos of 4 personal cases].
abstract: Four cases of Carpal Tunnel syndrome during childhood are reported. Two of them are post traumatic cases; for one child, the syndrome was caused by hypertrophic cal six months after trauma. The other child has been operated because of a median and ulnar nerve deficit syndrome, which appeared one month after fracture. In the third observation, the authors have seen an abnormal muscle just in front of annular anterior ligament of the carpus during surgery. This muscle was assimilated to hypertrophic Palmaris Brevis muscle. In the last observation, the adolescent had a Poland syndrome with Sprengel malformation. In this paper, the authors point out clinical particularities due to musculo-tendinous malformation which can lead to Carpal Tunnel syndrome.
