Brown’s syndrome is recognised to occur in several forms, both congenital and acquired. Similarities have been noted between certain of the acquired forms and stenosing tenosynovitis of the hand. We report a case of bilateral Brown’s syndrome with onset related to pregnancy. As stenosing tenosynovitis is known to occur with increased frequency in pregnancy, the observations in this case support the hypothesis that the two conditions share a similar pathogenesis.
