Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) is typified as isolated nerve palsies caused by trivial compression or trauma. It rarely presents in two extremities and even more infrequently affects all four limbs simultaneously. We present a patient who concurrently experienced right

Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is a disorder characterized by a tendency to develop focal neuropathies after trivial traumas. On teased nerve fiber studies, sausage-shaped myelin sheath swellings (tomacula) are found. We report the sonographic findings in a patient w
## Abstract Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal‐dominant focal neuropathy characterized by recurrent entrapment neuropathies. Single members of families with HNPP and brachial plexus involvement have been reported previously. We describe a family with thr
## Abstract A 49‐year‐old man reported several periods of acute paresis of different nerves after exposure to pressure. All palsies showed a good recovery over a period of days to months. The suspected diagnosis of a hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies was confirmed by the hist
There is phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies. In rare cases, recurrent brachial plexopathy is the only expression of the disease. We describe a patient with three episodes of plexus brachialis palsy and a de novo deletion of the peripher
