Abstract:
Two siblings, born from a consanguineous marriage, in which tomaculous neuropathy (TN), diagnosed after nerve biopsy, presented as a chronic sensory-motor neuropathy. The clinical manifestations include also in both patients thyroid multinodular struma and in one case myopathic-like features. We believe that TN must be suspected not only in hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies, but also in any case with chronic sensory-motor neuropathy.
