Abstract
Introduction: Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is characterized by repeated neuropathies triggered by minor trauma with complete recovery. We report a case of 17‐year‐old‐girl, student in choral conducting, with recurrent weakness of the right arm, with a history of thyroid cyst and hearing impairment due to gentamicin use. Methods: Medical history and clinical evaluation were followed by electrophysiological tests: sensory and motor nerve conduction studies (NCS), needle electromyography (EMG), laboratory workup including antiganglioside antibody profile and antibodies associated with paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes, spinal cord and brachial plexus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies and genetic analysis. Results: Patient presented 5 years ago with inability to lift the right arm and pain after swimming, resolved after steroid treatment. Cervical MRI, NCS, and needle EMG were unremarkable. MRI (1,5 T) (year 2015, 2018) showed mild enlargement of brachial plexus and of anterior and middle scalene muscles on T2 weighted images. Two years later, pain and weakness in the arm and numbness in the forearm occurred on the same side with limitation of shoulder joint mobility. Symptoms resolved with conservative treatment without any marked deficits. In 2019, similar symptoms occurred after viral infection. NCS showed multifocal conduction velocity slowing at compression sites with reduced recruitment in right C5 > 6 myotomes on initial needle EMG and signs of mild axonal loss in C5‐C7 myotomes at follow‐up. MRI (3 T) revealed slight brachial plexus hyperintensity in STIR sequences without scalene muscles asymmetry, compatible with inflammatory plexopathy. Antibody testing was negative. Genetic analysis confirmed HNPP. Conclusions: Classically, HNPP presents with painless neuropathies. In our case, despite genetic and electrophysiological verification, there were [...].
