Carpal tunnel syndrome in childhood: report of five new cases.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition rarely encountered during the growth period. We describe five new cases in two large Belgian university hospitals. One case concerned a 2-year-old child suffering from disseminated angiomatosis, an association not previously reported. Another case of mild severity corresponded to the classic association of trigger fingers and carpal tunnel syndrome. The third case was posttraumatic, and the last two cases were of the familial type that previously has been reported in four families. We discuss these observations and briefly review the literature.

[Current treatment of fresh lesions of the flexor tendons].

Different aspects of primary treatment of flexor tendon lesions are reviewed. Of outstanding importance are: adequate setting and instruments plus meticulous repair with fine material, avoidance of traumatic manipulation of structures and anatomical repair, use of dynamic mobilisation of reconstructed tendons within a team of well informed and motivated therapists.

[Current emergency treatment of lesions of the flexor tendons: anatomical, biomechanical and cicatricial aspects].

Emergency treatment of flexor tendon lesion in 1988: anatomic biomechanical and healing characteristics. Flexor tendon surgery in 1988 must take into account detailed anatomic knowledge as well as healing and biomechanical properties of flexor tendons. Application of standardised surgical technics allows reliable treatment when the surgeon is familiar with these technics and the basic knowledge they suppose. The authors detail the technics and certain details with practical goals.

[Thoughts about 20 cases of hyperparathyroidism (author's transl)].

The analysis of 20 personal cases of parathyroid hyperplasia or adenoma suggest the following conclusions: 1. The importance of dosage of the parathormone is a decisive factor of the diagnosis and yields data: a) in relation with the volume of the adenoma; b) that return to normal 24 hours after resection; c) that constitute the proof of complete resection. 2. The little utility of the diagnosis of location bij means of elaborate paraclinical exams. The authors show false positive angiograms. Only the inspection of the four parathyroids and of the main heterotopic areas is a valid means of disclosing the lesions responsible of the hyperparathyroidism. It is essential to operate with a skilled pathologist who will read frozen sections.

[Injuries and seat belts].

The effectiveness of the seat belt in reduction of road fatalities and injuries is well known. Nevertheless, improper or incorrectly wearing of the seat belt can induce specific cervical, thoracic or abdominal lesions. With reference to the literature and clinical reports, the authors describe the specific lesions of the seat belt syndrome. Superficial lesions are frequently associated with underlying deep lesions.
