Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent mononeuropathies or brachial plexopathies, commonly associated with a chromosome 17p11.2-12 deletion encompassing the peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP22) gene. We tried to id
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
