Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease; Other names: Charcot–Marie–Tooth neuropathy, peroneal muscular atrophy, Dejerine-Sottas syndrome: The foot of a person with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease: The lack of muscle, a high arch, and claw toes are signs of this genetic disease.
Dejerine–Sottas disease, also known as, Dejerine–Sottas syndrome, [3] hereditary motor and sensory polyneuropathy type III, and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 3, is a hereditary neurological disorder characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves, demyelination, and resulting progressive muscle wasting and somatosensory loss.
Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 2: 2343 (multiple) Neuronal type: symptoms similar to type1, onset in adolescence. HMSN3: Dejerine–Sottas disease (Charcot–Marie–Tooth type 3) 5821: 145900: Onset in infancy and results in delayed motor skills, much more severe than types 1 & 2. HMSN4: Refsum disease: 11213: 266500
The diagnosis of polyneuropathy begins with a history (anamnesis) and physical examination to ascertain the pattern of the disease process (such as arms, legs, distal, proximal), if they fluctuate, and what deficits and pain are involved. If pain is a factor, determining where and how long it has been present is important; one also needs to ...
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a genetic neurological condition that causes damage to the peripheral nerves that connect the spine and brain to the arms and legs, according to the Mayo Clinic ...
Neuropathic arthropathy (also known as Charcot neuroarthropathy or diabetic arthropathy) refers to a progressive fragmentation of bones and joints in the presence of neuropathy. [1] It can occur in any joint where denervation is present, although it most frequently presents in the foot and ankle. [ 2 ]
X-linked Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 5: This subtype is characterized by infancy/childhood-onset progressive distal limb muscle weakness and atrophy that affects both upper and lower extremities (although it is important noting that it appears and is more noticeable on the lower extremities), foot drop, gait abnormalities, bilateral ...
Classifications of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease refers to the types and subtypes of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT), a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body.
