Abstract

Pediatric trigger finger is rarely seen in clinical practice and when seen is the trigger thumb mostly. A myxoid degeneration of the tendon in the nodule has been detected at superficial flexor tendon of third finger on left side of a 12 year old child who underwent surgery with a diagnosis of trigger finger. The patient is free of pain and triggering after the excision of this degeneration. The aim of this report is to remind that rare pathologies as tendon tumors (or myxoid degeneration, as in our case) of the tendon may be the cause of pediatric trigger finger with most of them requiring surgery.

Özet

Pediatrik tetik parmak klinik uygulamada nadiren görülür ve görüldüğünde çoğunlukla tetik başparmak olarak ortaya çıkar. Tetik parmak tanısıyla ameliyat edilen 12 yaşındaki bir çocuğun sol el üçüncü parmağının yüzeysel fleksör tendonundaki nodül içerisinde miksoid dejenerasyon tespit edildi. Bu dejenerasyon cerrahi olarak çıkartıldıktan sonra hastanın ağrısının ve takılmasının geçtiği görüldü. Bu olguyu sunma amacımız, vakamızda olduğu gibi tendonun miksoid dejenerasyonu ve tümörler gibi nadir görülen patolojilerin, çoğu cerrahi gerektiren, çocuk tetik parmak nedeni olabileceğini hatırlatmaktır.
