Extractions: David Ross, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 30 - NO. 10 - OCTOBER 2002 For CME accreditation information, instructions and learning objectives, click here In Brief: A high school tennis player had recurrent ankle sprains that were initially attributed to incomplete rehabilitation. A closer look revealed subtle symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a common, inherited neuromuscular disorder. This case underscores the importance of a wide differential diagnosis when encountering recurrent conditions. Early diagnosis of CMT is imperative so that appropriate injury-prevention measures can be taken. T he underlying cause of recurrent ankle sprains may be improper rehabilitation; however, other, less apparent, conditions may be the source. A comprehensive history and physical examination may lead to the diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, as in the following case. Awareness of this fairly common condition may lead to early diagnosis and prevent recurrent ankle injuries in an otherwise healthy patient. A 16-year-old male varsity tennis player came to our sports medicine clinic with persistent right ankle pain 2 days after he had an inversion injury while sidestepping in a tennis match. He was able to walk off the court but was not able to continue playing that day. The ankle did not swell.

Extractions: Downey et al (1992) and Mann and Missirian (1983; 1986) support this theory in explaining the pattern of muscle wasting and dysfunction. The intrinsic muscles of the foot are the first to atrophy as a result of their size and innervation by the medial and lateral plantar nerves. The anterior muscles of the leg are next to atrophy presumably as a result of their innervation be the smaller branch of the Sciatic nerve. As a result of the lack of muscle bulk, Peroneus Brevis and Peroneus Tertius atrophy before their counterpart Peroneus Longus. As Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is progressive, the posterior leg muscle group and the triceps surae may be involved. However, because of the greatest muscle bulk, they are typically the last to atrophy (Downey, 1992).

Extractions: KOHLER'S DISEASE Back to Encyclopedia Index An Osteochondrosis is a disease of the growth ossification centres in children beginning as a degeneration or necrosis followed by regeneration or recalcification (Dorlands pocket medical dictionary, 1995, p.96). In the case of navicular osteochondoris, the navicular becomes sclerotic and fragmented, eventually becoming flattened into a disc shape (visible on x-ray), with resultant re-shaping of the navicular into its original shape or a deformed one (Brower, 1983, p.103). Back to Contents Speed (1927, p.179) reports a range of 2-10 years of age with an average of 3; Waugh (1958, p.765) reports an average of 5 years; Kidner and Muro (1924, p.1650) report a range of 5-8 years; while Tachdjian (1972, p.406) report a mean age of 5 years for boys and 4 years for girls. Karp (1937, p.84) suggests a ratio of boys:girls of 6:1 and an average age of 55 months (or approximately 4.5 years of age). Usually, only one foot is affected, with bilateral cases occurring approximately 15-20% of children studied (Williams and Cowell, 1981, p.53).

Extractions: What is it? Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or Peroneal Muscular Atrophy is the commonest disease within a group of conditions called Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies (HMSN) . This group of diseases are caused by degeneration of the peripheral nerves, nerve roots, and even the spinal cord. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is also known as HMSN Type I, and is the most common disease in the group. The nerves that supply the small muscles of the feet are affected, causing weakness and deformity in the feet. There is also loss of position and vibration sense to the feet. Much later, the small muscles of the hands are also affected. What causes it? The disease is hereditary, and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. What are the symptoms? The affected child presents with high arches in his feet, as well clumsiness and pain in his feet and legs. Due to muscle imbalance in the feet, the child may develop a dropfoot , as well as a cavus foot , where the arch of the foot is very pronounced and fixed. Later, if the small muscles of the hands are also affected, he may develop clawing of the fingers. The affected child has normal intelligence, and a normal life span.

Onset is in the lower limbs first causing weakness around the ankles and, often, an abnormality in the shape of the feet (high in-step.) After many years, weakness may develop in the hands and spread upwards in the lower limbs to affect the knees and thighs. Mild loss of sensation may be present in the feet and hands. The onset of the condition may be from childhood to late middle or old age. Inheritance patterns Pre-natal diagnosis

Extractions: Progress in Clinical Neurosciences: Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease and Related Inherited Peripheral Neuropathies Timothy J. Benstead and Ian A. Grant Abstract: The classification of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and related hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies has evolved to incorporate clinical, electrophysiological and burgeoning molecular genetic information that characterize the many disorders. For several inherited neuropathies, the gene product abnormality is known and for others, candidate genes have been identified. Genetic testing can pinpoint a specific inherited neuropathy for many patients. However, clinical and electrophysiological assessments continue to be essential tools for diagnosis and management of this disease group. This article reviews clinical, electrophysiological, pathological and molecular aspects of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies. Can. J. Neurol. Sci. 2001; 28: 199-214

Extractions: Diagnosis A physical examination may confirm a high arch, claw toes, and muscle weakness. The Achilles (above the heel) and patellar (knee) tendon reflexes are weak or absent. Muscle strength testing can reveal atrophy and can be used to establish a baseline from which disease progression can be tracked. Examining and testing several family members for signs of neuropathy can help establish a diagnosis. Tests

In addition to loss of sensation, there is wasting of muscle tissue in the feet and legs, then hands and arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases involve damage to nerves (neuropathy), usually from demyelination or loss of the electrical insulation around nerve fibers. All nerves are affected, but motor nerves are disproportionately so. The nerves in the legs are affected first and most severely. Symptoms usually begin between mid-childhood and early adulthood. The disorder is inherited, with autosomal dominant and recessive as well as X-linked recessive inheritance patterns. At least four genes have been discovered to be the cause of this group of diseases.

Although it is found worldwide, in people of all ethnic backgrounds, Charcot-Marie-Tooth is still considered rare. First described by researchers Jean-Marie Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth in 1886, CMT is an inherited defect in the nerves that control the muscles of the hands, feet, and legs. CMT has at times been called peroneal muscular atrophy or hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies. What is it?

The disease is named for the three physicians who first identified it in 1886 - Jean-Marie-Charcot and Pierre Marie in Paris, France, and Howard Henry Tooth in Cambridge, England. CMT, also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) or peroneal muscular atrophy, comprises a group of disorders that affect peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves lie outside the brain and spinal cord and supply the muscles and sensory organs in the limbs. Disorders that affect the peripheral nerves are called peripheral neuropathies.
