Thoracic outlet syndrome combined with carpal tunnel syndrome and Guyon canal syndrome in a child

Guyon tunnel syndrome secondary to excessive healing tissue in a child: a case report

“…Guyon's syndrome in the paediatric age group is extremely rare; a search of the literature in English yielded one case [3]. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an isolated Guyon's syndrome secondary to an injury of the flexor carpi ulnaris in a child.…”

“…Intrinsic lesions (ganglia, lipoma, cysts, anomalies of ligaments or muscles, ulnar artery aneurysms, fracture of hook of the hamate) as well as extrinsic pathologies (chronic repetitive trauma) can damage the terminal superficial and/or deep branches of the ulnar nerve at the wrist and at the hand leading to distinct clinical features [2][3][4].…”

Surgery for paediatric thoracic outlet syndrome

“…[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]26 Despite residual symptoms in most of the operated limbs (67%), the majority of operations were deemed successful by both patients and observers. This may represent the significant improved mobility of these limbs post-operatively which was more important to the patients' quality of life.…”

“…12 The relative paucity of reports of paediatric TOS makes the condition in this age group particularly contentious. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] The few studies of TOS in paediatric patients that have been reported in the literature are summarized in Table 1.…”

Spectrum of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Presentation in Adolescents

“…Before these studies, only case reports were available in the literature. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] These case reports emphasized the unusual anatomy found in some children presenting with TOS, including abnormal first ribs, cervical ribs, fractured ribs, and abnormal tendon insertions. Those reports emphasized the need for chest radiography in adolescent patients to identify those with unusual ribs.…”
