  • Title: Hereditary motor sensory neuropathy type I presenting as scapuloperoneal atrophy (Davidenkow syndrome) electrophysiological and pathological studies.
    Author: Ronen GM, Lowry N, Wedge JH, Sarnat HB, Hill A.
    Journal: Can J Neurol Sci; 1986 Aug; 13(3):264-6. PubMed ID: 3742344.
    Abstract:
    A 14 year old boy with scapuloperoneal muscular atrophy, pes cavus, areflexia and distal sensory loss (Davidenkow syndrome) is described. Nerve conduction velocities were diminished. Sural nerve biopsy demonstrated a reduction in the number of myelinated fibers and early "onion-bulb" formation. These observations support the hypothesis that the scapuloperoneal amyotrophy associated with distal sensory loss may represent a variant of type I hereditary motor sensory neuropathy.
