“…Regardless of the cause, a common finding is usually a thickened transverse carpal ligament, although some authors have reported idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome with a normal ligament. 4,5 Children may present with symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome in a manner different from what is typical in adults. They may not necessarily have thenar atrophy 6 and cannot always describe pain or paresthesias accurately.…”

“…En cuanto a la etiología idiopática, como es el caso de nuestro paciente, hasta 1989 se habían publicado 13 casos [4], en los cuales estarían incluidos los niños mayores de 10 años, con tres casos en adolescentes descritos por Sainio et al [18]. Curiosamente, a partir de 1989 se han publicado sólo tres casos en menores de 10 años (5, 8 y 6 años) [19][20][21], probablemente debido a los avances de las exploraciones complementarias para filiar la etiología en los años posteriores. De estos tres casos, dos fueron bilaterales, como nuestro paciente.…”

Connective tissue disorders in diabetes encompass the major long‐term complications, which can be attributed to alternation in the quantity and quality of structural macromolecules of the extracellular matrix. This chapter reviews the abnormalities of interstitial connective tissue involving skeleton, joints, skin, and periarticular tissues that have been considered to be associated with diabetes, including osteopenia in children and adults; hyperostosis; osteoarthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; osteolysis; scleroderma diabeticorum; Dupuytren disease; stiff hand syndrome of Lundbaek; carpal tunnel syndrome; flexor tenosynovitis; adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder and shoulder–hand syndrome; and limited joint mobility (LJM). Despite an extensive literature defining the characteristic features of the six distinct conditions resulting in limitation of hand joint mobility, recognition of the fact that these are different entities, although they may coexist, is often not appreciated. Among these conditions affecting hand joint mobility, LJM is unique in that it can occur in children and adolescents, in whom it was originally described, does not occur in the nondiabetic young population, is an important risk marker for other complications, correlates with long‐term metabolic control, and has markedly decreased in frequency over the past 20 years, presumably as a result of improved control of type 1 diabetes in children.
