Abstract
The differences between diabetic mono- or polyneuropathy and entrapment neuropathy are most important with respect to choosing treatment alternatives in pediatric patients. A 7-year-old girl with type 1 diabetes mellitus was admitted to our clinic with a complaint of bilateral weakness in her hands. Her clinical findings and electromyography study revealed an entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve at the wrist. She underwent operation by open carpal tunnel release. All symptoms resolved within 6 months after the operation. Carpal tunnel syndrome, especially bilateral, is very rare in childhood and it can be treated surgically.
