Extractions: The hereditary sensory neuropathies (HSN) include 4-6 similar but distinct inherited, degenerative disorders of the nervous system (neurodegenerative) that frequently progress to loss of feeling, especially in the hands and feet. The classification of the hereditary sensory neuropathies is complicated, and the experts do not always agree. This report deals with HSN type I. There is a separate report in NORDs Rare Disease Database dealing with HSN type II. One other type of hereditary sensory neuropathy, HSN-III, is related to, or identical with, familial dysautonomia (Riley-Day syndrome). Another type, HSN-IV, is related to, or identical with, a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder.

Disorders Of Neuromuscular Transmission Peripheral Neuropathy A syndrome of sensory loss, muscle weakness and atrophy, decreased deep tendon reflexes, and vasomotor symptoms, alone or in any combination. Etiology Trauma is the most common cause of a localized injury to a single nerve. Violent muscular activity or forcible overextension of a joint may produce a focal neuropathy, as may repeated small traumas (eg, tight gripping of small tools, excessive vibration from air hammers). Pressure or entrapment paralysis usually affects superficial nerves (ulnar, radial, peroneal) at bony prominences (eg, during sound sleep or during anesthesia in thin or cachectic persons and often in alcoholics) or at narrow canals (eg, in carpal tunnel syndrome). Pressure paralysis may also result from tumors, bony hyperostosis, casts, crutches, or prolonged cramped postures (eg, in gardening). Hemorrhage into a nerve and exposure to cold or radiation may cause neuropathy. Mononeuropathy may result from direct tumor invasion. Acute Viral Encephalitis and Aseptic Meningitis in Ch. 176).

Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report Neuropathy, Hereditary Sensory, Type I is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Hereditary sensory neuropathy Type I (HSN1) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the loss of sensation (sensory loss), especially in the feet and legs and, less severely, in the hands and forearms. The sensory loss is due to abnormal functioning of the sensory nerves that control responses to pain and temperature and may also affect the autonomic nervous system that controls other involuntary or automatic body processes. other involuntary or automatic body processes.
Extractions: Send it to a friend! Dr Trisha Macnair Discover the symptoms and treatments of this inherited neurological disorder, plus links to some useful support groups in the UK and abroad. What is it? Symptoms Who's affected? Diagnosis and treatment Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease - also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) or peroneal muscular atrophy - is the name given to a group of conditions where the nerves to the muscles, particularly in the lower leg and hands, don't work properly. The part of the nerves carrying sensory signals back towards the brain may also be affected, leading to altered sensation in the affected areas. There are at least four different types of HMSN, which were originally classified on the basis of electrical tests of nerve conduction. But as genetic causes for these different conditions are discovered, so HMSN conditions are being reclassified into a wider group of disorders. Other features include high arched feet in many cases and, in some less common types, deafness, problems with vision, paralysis of the vocal cords and breathing difficulties.

Extractions: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) affects two million people in the U.S., typically middle-aged and elderly individuals. It is a neurological disorder that affects the sensory, motor and/or autonomic nerves, and is caused by abnormal function of these nerves due to various etiologies. These disorders can originate from numerous causes, such as diabetes, alcoholism, HIV, toxin exposure, metabolic abnormalities, vitamin deficiency, or adverse effects of certain drugs. However, after evaluations for the etiologies of these PNs are performed, 32-70% of all peripheral neuropathies remain idiopathic. With the development of autoimumme and genetic tests, these idiopathic peripheral neuropathies can often be diagnosed. Autoimmune Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms of an autoimmune peripheral neuropathy may include weakness, cramping, decreased tendon reflexes, numbness, tingling, and pain affecting the arms and/or legs. Clinically, peripheral neuropathies are classified according to various characteristics: symmetric or asymmetric, proximal or distal, acute or chronic, slowly progressive or rapid onset, affecting one (mononeuropathy) or many nerves (polyneuropathy). Upon electrophysiological examination, assessment of a neuropathy can be further classified, depending on which part of the peripheral nervous system is affected, such as the axon or myelin sheath. Peripheral neuropathy can be demyelinating, axonal, or both, as determined by electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS).

Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 57/No. 4 (February 15, 1998) ... Patient Information The diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies can be frustrating, time consuming and costly. Careful clinical and electrodiagnostic assessment, with attention to the pattern of involvement and the types of nerve fibers most affected, narrows the differential diagnosis and helps to focus the laboratory evaluation. An algorithmic approach to the evaluation and differential diagnosis of a patient with peripheral neuropathy is presented, based on important elements of the clinical history and physical examination, the use of electromyography and nerve conduction studies, autonomic testing, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and nerve biopsy findings. The underlying cause of axonal neuropathies can frequently be treated; demyelinating neuropathies are generally managed with the assistance of a neurologist. T he incidence of peripheral neuropathy is not known, but it is a common feature of many systemic diseases. Diabetes and alcoholism are the most common etiologies of peripheral neuropathy in adults living in developed countries. The primary worldwide cause of treatable neuropathy is leprosy.
Extractions: Hereditary neuropathies are a group of inherited disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Within the group there are 4 subcategories of disorders, including hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, hereditary sensory neuropathy, hereditary motor neuropathy, and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy.

Extractions: Synonyms Peroneal muscular atrophy; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; Roussy-Levy syndrome; Dejerine-Sottas disease HMSN is the commonest cause of the peroneal muscular atrophy syndrome consisting of distal leg muscle wasting and weakness, usually with a pes cavus foot deformity. HMSN Old polio infection Friederich's ataxia Spina bifida The characteristic clinical features include distal wasting of the lower limb muscles (the so-called 'inverted champagne bottle' appearance). The feet show pes cavus and clawing of the toes, with weakness of the feet extensors. The ankle jerks are absent and the plantar reflexes show no response (occasionally they can be extensor). Palpable nerve thickening is found in about 25% of cases and is specific for the demyelinating forms of HMSN. The patient may have a 'high stepping gait' due to bilateral foot drop. There may be wasting of the small muscles of the hand. In general, the presenting symptoms are due to difficulty walking or a foot deformity. The inheritance is usually autosomal dominant, but recessive forms also occur. The video clip (video not ready yet) shows some of these clinical features in 2 affected brothers.
