Abstract:
Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN) Type II is an autosomal recessive genetic disease which presents predominantly with sensory neuropathy and neuropathic ulcers. HSAN Type II is a rare disease, and in the few cases that have been reported, the focus has been on identifying genetic markers of the disease. Orthopaedic conditions may be a major presentation of the disease, and the prevention of superficial trauma and foot care is the only definitive management.
