Background: The perforating vessels supply very important regions of the brain stem and diencephalon, as well as the basal ganglia and internal capsule. Some of their micro-anatomical characteristics are still not well known. The aim of this study was to examine and evaluate the features of all the perforating vessels.

Refractory persistent FSVT was treated intrautero with digoxin (0.5 mg QD) until delivery and amiodarone (100 mg QD) from 26 to 35 weeks of gestation.

- Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A disease (CMT1A) is linked to a specific genetic mutation on chromosome 17p11.2 seen in over half of diagnosed patients, while hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) involves a deletion of the same segment.
- A study of 48 individuals revealed that 52% of definite CMT1 patients had the identified duplication, whereas only some sporadic CMT cases exhibited the same genetic alteration.
- The research highlights the significance of reliable DNA testing for these genetic conditions, aiding in diagnosis and genetic counseling for patients and their families.
