Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy associated with a relapsing multifocal sensory neuropathy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A family with neuralgic amyotrophy (idiopathic brachial plexus neuropathy) associated with a multifocal sensory neuropathy is described. Four members over two generations were affected by neuralgic amyotrophy, inherited as an apparent autosomal dominant trait; two also had a multifocal relapsing sensory neuropathy with the clinical features of Wartenberg's migrant neuropathy.

Neuralgic amyotrophy is a well recognised condition of unknown aetiology with characteristic clinical features.' These include severe pain in the shoulder region, followed within hours or weeks by motor or sensory abnormalities, or both, in the distribution of the cervical roots or nerves. Unilateral disease is more common clinically but if electromyographic (EMG) studies are performed bilatera...
متن کاملCranial Nerve Involvement in Neuralgic Amyotrophy
Neuralgic Amyotrophy (NA) is generally conceived as a multifocal neuropathy of the brachial plexus. However, different atypical forms with the involvement of other peripheral nerves, such as the lumbosacral plexus, the intercostal and the phrenic nerve and the cranial nerves (CNs), have been reported in the literature. In an attempt to shed more light on the atypical presentation of NA with CN ...
متن کاملHistology of hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy.
We report the findings in five muscle and three sural nerve biopsies, and in one postmortem plexus specimen, from six patients with hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA). We found that the sensory nerves are definitely involved in HNA despite the mainly motor symptoms, and that lesions in nerves and muscles are more widespread throughout the peripheral nervous system than clinically presumed, b...
متن کاملA novel locus for a hereditary recurrent neuropathy on chromosome 21q21.
Hereditary recurrent neuropathies are uncommon. Disorders with a known molecular basis falling within this group include hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) due to the deletion of the PMP22 gene or to mutations in this same gene, and hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA) caused by mutations in the SEPT9 gene. We report a three-generation family presenting a hereditar...
