PURPOSE: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is typically found in adults and may be associated with a variety of metabolic conditions including obesity. Obesity is a growing problem among today's youth, and adult diseases often associated with obesity are now being found in a younger population. This case study describes a young adolescent girl with obesity and CTS. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS: A history and examination were completed before electrophysiologic testing, and the patient had no evidence of any contributory pathology. STATEMENT OF CONCLUSIONS: There was electrophysiologic evidence of bilateral median nerve compromise at the wrist. The patient's diagnosis of CTS may be obesity related. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: Management of patients with obesity and CTS should also include education about weight management in addition to traditional interventions. This may be even more important for a child or adolescent with obesity and CTS.
