Abstract: We report on a six-year-old girl with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome with familial accumulation. Parents and one grandmother had positive history for CTS, treated by surgical decompression. Following neurologic and radiologic evaluation and after failed conservative treatment in a plaster cast, open carpal tunnel release was performed in a two-stage procedure. Postoperatively symptoms diminished and now six months after surgery, all complaints disappeared completely.
