Objective: The purpose of our study was to describe the features on high-frequency sonography of median nerves in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and determine whether sonography can help in the detection and characterization of the disease in these patients.
Subjects And Methods: The median nerves of 24 patients with genetically proven Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (12 patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A, seven with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2, and five with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type X) were prospectively examined at the right mid forearm with a 12-5-MHz transducer. Image analysis for each patient included measurement of both the cross-sectional area and fascicular diameter of the nerve.
