Abstract Background: The primary aim of the retrospective study was to study whether the number of births in women ( primipara, multipara and grand multipara women ) the long term after deliveries has an impact on the development of Carpal tunnel syndrome ( CTS ).Methods: Our study population is composed of patients who are referred with suspicion of CTS. Four hundred and fifty female patients ( 150 primara, 150 multipara and 150 grand multipara women ) referred to the electrophsiology laboratory with clinical suspicion CTS were included into the descriptive and retrospective study between November 2016 and June 2018. Primiparity, multiparity and grand multiparity were defined as women having 1, 2 – 5 and 6 - 9 deliveries, respectively. Patients who passed 2 years after their last birth were included in the study. All of the patients were assessed and compared in terms of electrophysiological CTS presence and degree of CTS. Also BMI was calculated for each patient and it compared among groups.Results: The disease has not been changed with the number of births ( p > 0.05 ). The mean BMI of the primipara, multipara and grand multipara women were 28,06 ± 1,12 kg / m2, 27,59 ± 3,72 kg / m2 and 27,82 ± 3,11 kg / m2, respectively. There was no significant statistically difference in BMI among groups ( p > 0.05). However, the severity of the disease varies according to BMI ( p < 0.05 ). It was calculated that as the BMI increases, the severity of the disease increases. Conclusions: Number of pregnancies in women ( primipara, multipara and grand multipara women ) concerning the long term after deliveries has not impact on the development of CTS. Other risk factors such as BMI may play a significant role in the development of CTS in these patients.

The Mean

This single-centre retrospective study reports our management of carpal tunnel syndrome in 52 children (103 hands) with mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses. All except one were bilateral. The median age at surgery was 4 years (range 1.5 to 12). The diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome was confirmed by an electromyogram (EMG) in all patients; 38% of these presented without any clinical signs. Surgical neurolysis was performed in all hands, combined with epineurotomy in 52 hands (50%) and flexor tenosynovectomy in 75 hands (73%). Surgery was bilateral in 98% of children (102 hands). The mean follow-up was 12 years (range 1 to 19) and the EMG was normalized in 78% of hands. Ten patients suffered recurrence, eight of whom required further surgery. Screening for carpal tunnel syndrome is essential for the management of children mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses. Surgical treatment should be carried out early with follow-up by EMG to detect recurrence. Level of evidence: IV

Outcome Of Surgery

A retrospective study was performed on 62 patients who had undergone carpal tunnel decompression surgery. Each patient was assessed in clinic, their case notes were reviewed and their electrophysiological results were analysed and graded according to severity. The median preoperative duration of symptoms was 2 years. No relationship was found between the nature or duration of pre-operative symptoms and the severity of the electrophysiological impairment. Furthermore, no relationship could be identified between pre-operative nerve conduction impairment and either successful outcome of surgery (defined as complete symptom relief) or time to resolution of symptoms after surgery.
