MOTOR NEUROPATHY, PERIPHERAL, WITH DYSAUTONOMIA


Clinical Synopsis
 

Muscle
- Progressive muscle weakness
- Muscle hypotrophy
Neuro
- Orthostatic hypotension
- Autonomic dysfunction
Skin
- Profuse sweating
- Distal cyanosis related to cold
GI
- Esophageal achalasia
Lab
- Slow nerve conduction velocity
- Nonspecific sural nerve demyelination
Inheritance
- Autosomal recessive

TEXT

Lisker et al. (1981) described 2 sisters with distal, slowly progressive muscular weakness and hypotrophy since childhood, and autonomic dysfunction characterized by profuse sweating, distal cyanosis related to cold, orthostatic hypotension, and esophageal achalasia. Nerve conduction velocity of several motor nerves was slow. Although no sensory abnormality was found, sural nerve biopsy showed nonspecific demyelination. No similar patients were identified in the literature.
