Several diseases present solely with spastic gait disorders, but spastic paraplegia with severe polyneuropathy is an uncommon condition. We report three cases of spastic paraplegia from childhood with severe distal atrophy due to profound polyneuropathy; two of them had a hereditary and one sporadic (nonhereditary) background. In the present report, positive clinical and paraclinical findings with the possible differential diagnosis have been discussed.

EMG EMG Case No. 73, July 2005, continued Physical Examination She is an overweight young woman who is walking with a normal gait pattern and appeared to get up from her chair and sit without difficulty. She has a well-healed incision over her lumbar region. Sensations to light touch and pinprick show no appreciable decrement in the hands and feet compared to the rest of her extremities. Additional exam of vibratory and positional sensation was normal. There is no evidence of muscle atrophy in her upper extremities or lower extremities. Gross cranial nerve exam shows no asymmetry. At this point, review your differential diagnosis and revise as appropriate. Are there additional observations on physical examination that might be helpful in narrowing your differential list? Commentary III The current findings are minimally helpful with the differential diagnosis. Despite the patient stating she has symptoms of numbness in her hands and feet, the direct exam did not show any abnormalities. This can be confusing but the patient’s symptoms cannot be wholly dismissed. It would be of interest to have patient outline her numbness/tingling to get an idea of the distribution.

The rarity of the disease is highlighted and the intragroup variations are discussed. The Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathies (HSAN) are a group of rare disorders characterized by prominent sensory and autonomic neuropathy without motor involvement(1). They reflect failure of development or degeneration of sub-populations of peripheral sensory and autonomic neurons. Classification is done into five main groups based on inheritance, clinical features and the population of sensory neurons affected. Impaired pain appreciation results in mutilating acropathy with skin ulceration and fissuring, long bone fractures, Charcot’s joints and digit amputation. The precise symptoms and signs and the nerve conduction abnormalities of each type are determined by the subpopulation of sensory neurons predominantly affected(2). We report a family in which all four siblings were affected with HSAN Type II without any

Clinical Characteristics Pathophysiology Risk Related to Specific ART Agents Treatment of HIV-Associated and Dideoxynucleoside-Associated Toxic Sensory Neuropathy "There is no more lively sensation than that of pain; its impressions are certain and dependable..." Marquis de Sade, 1791 Sensory neuropathy occurring in the context of HIV/AIDS has become a frequent complication, particularly in patients treated with dideoxynucleoside antiretrovirals. Sensory neuropathy not only affects the quality of life, but is frequently under-treated, even by expert HIV providers. Increasingly, the occurrence of HIV associated sensory neuropathy limits the choice of HAART regimens by excluding the use of dideoxynucleosides. In addition, the development of neuropathic symptoms, or even the fear of sensory neuropathy, may reduce adherence with antiretrovirals. Finally, peripheral neuropathy may actually be an early marker of mitochondrial dysfunction, which is now believed to contribute to the development of lipodystrophy, lactic acidosis, and other toxicities. Clinical Characteristics Neurology . 1998;52:607]. Other risk factors include age, the presence of wasting syndrome, lower CD4 count, and concurrent causes of neuropathy including diabetes mellitus, prior cancer chemotherapy, and hereditary sensory motor polyneuropathies.

CMT is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, although X-linked and recessive forms of CMT also exist. Over the past several years, considerable progress has been made toward understanding the genetic causes of many of the most frequent forms of CMT, particularly those caused by mutations in Schwann cell genes inducing the demyelinating forms of CMT, also known as CMT1. Because the genetic cause of these disorders is known, it is now possible to study how mutations in genes encoding myelin proteins cause neuro-pathy. Identifying these mechanisms will be important both for understanding demyelination and for developing future treatments for CMT.

This produces pain, loss of sensation, and inability to control muscles. The term peripheral neuropathy can be broken down as follows: "neuro" = nerves, "pathy" = abnormal, and "peripheral" = nerves beyond the brain and spinal cord. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The peripheral nerves relay information from your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to muscles and other organs and from your skin, joints, and other organs back to your brain. Peripheral neuropathy occurs when these nerves fail to function properly, resulting in pain, loss of sensation, or inability to control muscles. In some cases, the failure of nerves that control blood vessels, intestines, and other organs results in abnormal blood pressure, digestion problems, and loss of other basic body processes. Peripheral neuropathy may involve damage to a single nerve or nerve group (

Symptoms include numbness and wasting of muscle tissue, first in the feet and legs, then in the hands and arms. Alternative Names: Progressive neuropathic (peroneal) muscular atrophy; Hereditary peroneal nerve dysfunction; Neuropathy - peroneal (hereditary); Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases involve damage to nerves (neuropathy), usually from loss of the electrical insulation ( myelin ) around nerve fibers. All nerves are affected, but motor nerves (the nerves that stimulate movement) are most severely affected. The nerves in the legs are affected first and most severely. Symptoms usually begin between mid-childhood and early adulthood. The disorder is inherited, with
