Auditory function in hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease). 1987

E Raglan, and D K Prasher, and E Trinder, and P Rudge

Fourteen patients with hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), 12 of Type I and 2 of Type II, were assessed for auditory dysfunction. Five patients complained of hearing loss and all had pure-tone audiograms outside the normal range, while one patient who did not complain of hearing impairment also had an abnormal pure-tone audiogram. Assessment of loudness function, speech audiometry and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) suggested that the hearing loss was the result of VIII nerve dysfunction, a conclusion supported by the abnormality of the electrocochleogram (ECochG) in one patient.

D009477 Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathies A group of inherited disorders characterized by degeneration of dorsal root and autonomic ganglion cells, and clinically by loss of sensation and autonomic dysfunction. There are five subtypes. Type I features autosomal dominant inheritance and distal sensory involvement. Type II is characterized by autosomal inheritance and distal and proximal sensory loss. Type III is DYSAUTONOMIA, FAMILIAL. Type IV features insensitivity to pain, heat intolerance, and mental deficiency. Type V is characterized by a selective loss of pain with intact light touch and vibratory sensation.
