| Abstract |
|
Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type III, which is also known as Dejerine-Sottas disease,
is a severe demyelinating polyneuropathy which presents from birth or infancy, and is
sometimes presented as a hypotonic or floppy infant. The disease is inherited autosomal recessively
and includes clinical findings of generalized muscle weakness and atrophy, with the
greatest severity in distal limb muscles, areflexia, and sensory loss. The disease is characterized
histologically by segmental demyelination, remyelination of the peripheral nerves, and onion bulb
formations. We experienced a 12-month-old girl with delayed development, frequent respiratory
infection and pes cavus. We report this case with a review of related literature. |
