Coexistence of transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2012
Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) and ereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) are wo rare autosomal dominant neuropathies. TTR-FAP is the most ommon inherited amyloidotic polyneuropathy, which presents s a progressive, sensori-motor and autonomic, length-dependent europathy that ultimately leads to death 9–11 ...

The present case does not seem to fit into any of the forms of familial amyloidosis known for the different combinations of organ involvement. The patient developed renal failure, vitreous opacities and a sensorimotor neuropathy with trophic changes in the lower ...

[Familial amyloid neuropathies in 3 families of French origin].

Revue neurologique, 1983
Clinical, electromyographic and neuropathological studies were carried out at different stages of evolution of a familial amyloid neuropathy in 6 members of 3 families of French origin. The clinical onset was marked by sensory symptoms and signs in limb extremities, primary manifestations being alterations in pain and thermal sensitivity.
