Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal dominant hereditary sensory and motor neuropathy characterized by recurrent numbness and limb weakness. In clinical practice, some patients may present with mild or atypical clinical symptoms, which tends to result in missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of HNPP. This article summarizes the pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis of HNPP.
