โฆ Synopsis
Pattern shift visual evoked potentials (VEPs), cervical and cortical somatosensory evoked responses (SEPs) and motor conduction velocities studied by F-wave latency measurements were investigated in two family members with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HN-PP). In both cases in VEPs and SEP conduction times N13-N20 were normal. A bilateral pathological increase of latencies of early SEP components, N9-N13 transit times and F-wave latencies revealed a lesion in the proximal parts of the median nerves close to the spinal cord in the older patient. These abnormalities emphasize the close relationship of HN-PP with hereditary polyradiculopathy (Mayer 1975).

## Abstract __Introduction__: Diagnostic nerve ultrasound is becoming more commonly used by both radiologists and clinicians. The features of different neuromuscular conditions must be described to broaden our understanding and ability to interpret findings. __Methods__: Our study examines the sono
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
