If conservative treatment fails, or is not appropriately initiated, deformity, immobility and chronic pain may result. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required. With the exception of case reports and case series, limited safety and efficacy data exists regarding the use of neuraxial and regional anesthesia for patients with CMT. This paper describes an anesthetic case report of a patient with CMT, and also provides a review of general and regional anesthetic considerations for this cohort. The purpose of this report is to highlight the potential benefits of neuraxial and regional anesthesia in patients with neuromuscular disorders, especially in settings where intra- and post-operative resources may be limited.展开更多

Orthosis is widespread and varies widely in forms. The paper arises the necessity of habilitation at the earliest possible stage as only a few patients use it. The meta-analysis of 412 scientific papers concerning this problem demonstrates the getting better gate, balance and the stopping CMT progression which is scientifically proven. It is also shown that patients with CMT use low prevalence of orthotics, and demonstrate low compliance of patients (for various reasons), high expectations from this habilitation technique.展开更多

Clinically it is characterized by progressive distal weakness, muscle atrophy, distal sensory loss and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Following electrophysiological criteria, CMT is divided into two main forms：展开更多

The genetic diagnostic procedures for a CMT patient can be explored according to the electrophysiological criteria： very slow motor nerve conduction velocity（MNCV）（〈15 m/s）, slow MNCV（15–25 m/s）, intermediate MNCV（25–45 m/s）, and normal MNCV（〉45 m/s）. Based on the inheritance pattern, intermediate CMT can be divided into dominant（DI-CMT） and recessive types（RI-CMT）. GJB1 is currently considered to be associated with X-linked DI-CMT, and MPZ, INF2, DNM2, YARS, GNB4, NEFL, and MFN2 are associated with autosomal DI-CMT. Moreover, GDAP1, KARS, and PLEKHG5 are associated with RI-CMT. Identification of these genes is not only important for patients and families but also provides new information about pathogenesis. It is hoped that this review will lead to a better understanding of intermediate CMT and provide a detailed diagnostic procedure for intermediate CMT.展开更多
