Abstract
- Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs infrequently in children. Genetic disorders and systemic disease of carpal tunnel syndrome may be the predisposing factors for carpal tunnel syndrome in children. Immunoglobulins (Ig) play a major role in adaptive immunity, and the loss of certain species of immunoglobulin is known to increase the risk of certain types of infection. Patients with hypogammaglobulinemia have an increased risk of cellulitis, arthritis and osteomyelitis. We describe the management of bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome in children with hypogammaglobulinemia.
