Department of Neurology, Tokyo Metropolitan Neurological Hospital, Japan.

The clinical and pathological findings of a 21-year-old girl suffering from pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) with relapsing neuropathy are described. Episodic exacerbations were accompanied by intracranial hypertension and were relieved by the administration of corticosteroids. At autopsy, pathologic changes were almost restricted to the peripheral axons and showed distal dominant depletion of myelinated fibers without any active myelin breakdown or inflammatory changes. The neuropathy is thought to be similar to chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP); however, the relationship, if any, between PPHP and CIDP is unknown.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009413 Nerve Fibers, Myelinated A class of nerve fibers as defined by their structure, specifically the nerve sheath arrangement. The AXONS of the myelinated nerve fibers are completely encased in a MYELIN SHEATH. They are fibers of relatively large and varied diameters. Their NEURAL CONDUCTION rates are faster than those of the unmyelinated nerve fibers (NERVE FIBERS, UNMYELINATED). Myelinated nerve fibers are present in somatic and autonomic nerves.

D010525 Peripheral Nerves The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium.

D011556 Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism A form of PSEUDOHYPOPARATHYROIDISM characterized by the same features except for the abnormal response to hormones such as PARATHYROID HORMONE. It is associated with paternally inherited mutant alleles of the ALPHA CHAIN OF STIMULATORY G PROTEIN.
