Congenital sensory neuropathy.

Congenital sensory neuropathy as a differential diagnosis for phagocytic immunodeficiency.

There are few reports about congenital indifference to pain or Hereditary and Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN). Several investigations for pathophysiology of this syndrome have been performed and different classifications about it. In this report we present a case of HSAN type II with general absence of pain and self amputations and leprosy-like damage of extremities which was suspected to b...

Congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy.

Two patients with congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy are reported with details of sural nerve pathology. The resemblance of this condition to the hypomyelinating neuropathy of Trembler mice is discussed and the pertinent medical literature reviewed.
