Extractions: : I have an HSMN called HNPP (Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies). It is a relatively rare demeliniatng neuropathy and the nerves are described as tomaculous. Entrapment is typical (carpal and cubital tunnel, thoracic outlet and the evquivalent syndromses in the legs). A distinguishing feature is numbess/weakness which lasts fro minutes to months caused byu situations which would not cause problems in a "normal" person. One needs to learn to avoid situations that cause symptoms. There is no treatment. I have had symptoms for more than 15 years and have led a fairly normal life up until a couple of years ago. There had been periods where symptoms werre better and worse. Therre was a very slow progression where it took less to cause symptoms. A few years ago, I had a traumatic injury to one nerve, causing mostly pain, and that seemed to set the neuopathy off into a fasirly rapid decline. I have pain, numbness and motor problems (foot drop, difficulty writing, dropping things, etc) , in all 4 limbs, which seems to vary in intensity day to day. It's getting harder to walk and climb stairs. And while having sensations of numbness, I also have an exaggerated response to pin pricks, etc.

Extractions: Charcot Marie Tooth hereditary neuropathies are a group of disorders in which the motor and sensory peripheral nerves are affected, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy, primarily in the legs and sometimes in the hands. CMT hereditary neuropathy affects the nerves that control many muscles in the body. The nerve cells in individuals with this disorder are not able to send electrical signals properly because of abnormalities in the nerve axon or abnormalities in the insulation (myelin) around the axon. Specific gene mutations are responsible for the abnormal function of the peripheral nerves. Charcot Marie Tooth hereditary neuropathy can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked mode of inheritance. Resources

Subtalar distraction fusion after calcaneal fractures using RAMP cage Development of Charcot joint following surgery in hereditary sensory motor neuropathy (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease) *M. Nyska M.D., **M. Myerson M.D. Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a spectrum of peripheral neuropathy affecting motor and sensory nerves of the extremity. Most of these patients manifest with progressive distal weakness, pes cavovarus and family history. In advanced cases surgical treatment to correct the foot deformity tendon transfers, soft tissue release, osteotomies, and arthrodesis is needed. Destructive joint process compatible with Charcot changes may rarely appear, mainly in weight bearing joints. The mechanism responsible for activation of the Charcot process is not known but has been associated with neuropathy and fractures in diabetics. We present 3 cases having CMT who developed Charcot destructive process of ankles in two patients and midfoot in another patient. The process developed during recovery period for reconstructive surgery and may have been the trigger for initiating the process. The possible mechanism for development of Charcot process in these patients are discussed.

Extractions: Omkar Shetye is a 8 Years old boy with hereditary sensori motor neuropathy with deafness and has one elder sister who is very similarly affected. He was seen at our center in Nov98 and started on Neuro G-Therapy. One month after therapy few NCV improvements were noted. On Examination: Head circumference 50.5 cm. Marked squint both eyes. No abnormal facies or dermo - glyphics. Pes planus, feet are narrow and small, 3rd toe of both feet hypotrophic. Scratch marks and injuries all over lower limb and upper limb- suggesting a sensory component. CNS Examination : Alert Cooperative. Smiles, imitates action. Understanding/ Intelligence is fair if due concessions are made for his deafness and no special training. Investigations Before Neuro G-Therapy : November 1994 : Diffuse sensory neuropathy.
