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.
Extractions: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a hereditary neurological disorder characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy, primarily in the legs. Disappearance of the protective fatty layers surrounding the nerves (segmental demyelination) of peripheral nervous system and associated degeneration of part of the nerve cells (axons) characterize this disorder. (as defined by the
Extractions: Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy Type I (HSN I) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the loss of sensation, especially in the feet and legs and, less severely, in the hands and forearms. The loss of sensation is caused by abnormal functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which controls responses to pain and temperature as well as other involuntary or automatic body processes.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a hereditary neurological disorder characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy, primarily in the legs. Disappearance of the protective fatty layers surrounding the nerves (segmental demyelination) of peripheral nervous system and associated degeneration of part of the nerve cells (axons) characterize this disorder. Symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease usually begin gradually sometime between middle childhood and age 30. Muscle atrophy and weakness are most prominent in the legs and the small muscles of the hands. The most incapacitating symptom of CMT is "foot drop", producing a slapping gait. Pain and unusual sensations (paresthesias) may be present in the affected limbs. A decrease in vibration, pain and thermal sensation in the hand, foot and lower part of the leg (glove and stocking pattern) is common. Stretch reflexes are usually absent. The disease is slowly progressive, but may arrest spontaneously. Patients may remain active for years and live a normal life span.
G Therapy - Case Studies Case No 5 hereditary sensory motor neuropathy Axonal Demyelinating.Omkar Shetye is a 8 Years old boy with hereditary sensori http://www.g-therapy.org/neurologycs5.htm
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.

Extractions: Physical examination in HNPP often reveals weakness and sensory loss attributable to a specific nerve distribution. However, if the disease is advanced and many nerves are affected, findings may be generalized as in the patient above, thereby mimicking a distal sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, such as CMT-I. The symptoms would then include a decrease in distal limb reflexes, weakness and wasting of the intrinsic muscles of the hand and foot, and a decreased vibration sense. The nerve conduction studies in HNPP usually show a widespread polyneuropathy. Motor and sensory conduction abnormalities are found not only in affected nerves, but also in those that are clinically normal. Unaffected nerves show prolongation of distal latency, mild slowing of conduction velocities, and reduced amplitude. Affected nerves show segmental slowing or block, especially at entrapment sites. There is a decrease in amplitude of the compound muscle action potential when the nerve is stimulated proximal to the block. Needle EMG studies are normal in clinically unaffected nerves. In mild cases, the EMG shows a reduction in voluntarily activated motor unit potentials. In severe cases, signs of active denervation such as increased insertional activity or fibrillation potentials are more prominent. Microscopy discussion The muscle biopsy of this patient demonstrated a number of features consistent with a denervation-reinnervation process: variation in muscle fiber size, large sheets of smaller diameter fibers, and fiber-type grouping. The nerve biopsy showed a shift to smaller diameter nerve fibers, which corresponds to the slowed velocities seen on nerve conduction studies. As is characteristic in HNPP, both affected and unaffected nerves of the patient showed areas of myelin thickening (tomaculae) that are particularly convincing in the teased nerve fiber preparations.
