✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Seven patients with severe progressive impairment of kinesthetic sense, mild dysfunction of cutaneous sense, and sparing of motor function were examined during a 3‐year period. The clinical and electrophysiological findings are described in detail. None of these seven has had evidence of cancer despite a thorough investigation and a 3‐ to 16‐year (average, 7 years) period of symptoms. These patients' symptoms were indistinguishable from those of patients with sensory neuropathy and coexistent carcinoma, suggesting that progressive sensory neuropathy is not invariably associated with carcinoma.

Tomaculous neuropathy is the descriptive term for the "sausagelike" swellings of myelin characteristic of hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP). A 1.5-Mb deletion in chromosome 17pl1.2 is present in the majority but not all cases of HNPP. We reviewed the clinical and electr
