The report consisted of 10 cases of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN). There were 7 males and 3 females. Their ages ranged from 11 to 42 (average 24.6) years, ages of onset varied from 7 to 34 (average 17.3) years. Hereditary history was showed in 4 cases. The clinical features of all 10 cases had peroneal muscular atrophy, 8 of 10 cases also had involvement of the upper limbs, 7 of 10 cases had pes arcuatus. The conduction velocity was obviously slow in 5 cases and slightly slow in the others. Oion-bulb hypertrophic neuropathy was demonstrated in sural nerve biopsies of 5 cases. Neuronal axonal degeneration were found in the remaining 5 cases. Clinical classification, clinical features and pathological characteristics were discussed.

D015417	Hereditary Sensory and Motor Neuropathy	A group of slowly progressive inherited disorders affecting motor and sensory peripheral nerves. Subtypes include HMSNs I-VII. HMSN I and II both refer to CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE. HMSN III refers to hypertrophic neuropathy of infancy. HMSN IV refers to REFSUM DISEASE. HMSN V refers to a condition marked by a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy associated with spastic paraplegia (see SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA, HEREDITARY). HMSN VI refers to HMSN associated with an inherited optic atrophy (OPTIC ATROPHIES, HEREDITARY), and HMSN VII refers to HMSN associated with retinitis pigmentosa.
