    Palmar primary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the palms) is a rare but disabling condition in children. Upper dorsal sympathectomy surgery effectively treated four pediatric patients, resolving this socially impairing condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Palmar primary hyperhidrosis (PPH) is a condition characterized by excessive sweating of the palms.
    • While PPH in adults is well-documented, its occurrence and management in pediatric patients remain underreported.
    • PPH can cause significant social and emotional distress in affected children.

    Observation:

    • This study reports on four pediatric cases of Palmar Primary Hyperhidrosis presenting over a four-year period.
    • The clinical presentation of these young patients with excessive palm sweating was documented.
    • All patients experienced significant social and functional impairment due to their condition.

    Findings:

    • Four pediatric patients diagnosed with Palmar Primary Hyperhidrosis underwent surgical treatment.

  • The surgical intervention performed was an upper dorsal sympathectomy.
  • All patients achieved excellent results following the sympathectomy procedure.

    • Implications:

    • Upper dorsal sympathectomy is a highly effective treatment for Palmar Primary Hyperhidrosis in children.
    • Addressing PPH in pediatric patients can significantly improve their quality of life and social functioning.
    • Further research into pediatric hyperhidrosis is warranted to improve early diagnosis and management strategies.
