Abstract: Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal dominant peripheral neuropathy characterized by recurrent episodes of paralysis of peripheral nerves, usually after a minor trauma to topographies prone to compression 1,2 . Involvement of the cranial nerves has rarely been described in these patients [3][4][5][6][7][8] . Reports of swallowing dysfunction in patients with HNPP are even rarer.We report a patient diagnosed with HNPP confirmed by molecular testing who presented with r… Show more

“…Also, one patient (case 1) was previously reported due to recurrent episodes of swallowing dysfunction and three patients presented carpal tunnel syndrome as the main manifestation, which helps to confirm that cranial nerve palsy and chronic mononeuropathies are relevant in HNPP. 7 , 8 In addition, one patient (case 5) presented clinical features of writer’s cramp, which has persisted since his ulnar nerve palsy. Writer’s cramp caused by HNPP was reported only once as a possible result of persistent compensation after nerve palsy.…”

“…It seems that this is the pattern in most studies 2,20,21,24 . Interestingly, we have previously described a HNPP patient that developed dysphagia 25 . Other rare manifestations in our patients were pes cavus and nerve thickening, as seems to be the case in most studies 3,15 .…”
