Diagnosis and Management of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Children with Mucopolysaccharidosis: A 10 Year Experience.

ABSTRACT: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare and clinically heterogeneous lysosomal storage disorders. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a frequent complication in MPS types I, II, VI, and VII. CTS symptoms are difficult to recognize in these children, and often there is a lack of appropriate investigations. In this retrospective study, all MPS patients were referred to the electrodiagnostic (EDX) laboratory of a single academic center during a 10-year period. Forty-eight children underwent serial EDX studies for CTS diagnosis and follow-up after surgery. Forty-two patients were diagnosed with CTS. Sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV), distal motor latency (DML), and motor nerve conduction velocity through the wrist (MNCV-W) of the median nerve were reviewed and analyzed.
