Distinctive patterns of sonographic nerve enlargement in Charcot–Marie–Tooth type 1A and hereditary neuropathy with pressure palsies

Highlights • High Resolution Ultrasonography reveals specific phenotypes differentiating Charcot–Marie–Tooth type (CMT) 1A from hereditary neuropathy with pressure palsies (HNPP). • In CMT-1A sonographic enlargement of nerves and fascicles is multifocal among multiple nerves. • In HNPP nerve enlarge...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • High Resolution Ultrasonography reveals specific phenotypes differentiating Charcot–Marie–Tooth type (CMT) 1A from hereditary neuropathy with pressure palsies (HNPP). • In CMT-1A sonographic enlargement of nerves and fascicles is multifocal among multiple nerves. • In HNPP nerve enlargement is restricted to sites of entrapment and the swelling ratio is larger in HNPP than in CMT-1A.
