Both multifocal, demyelinating features and prednisone responsiveness are rare in Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. We report a mother and son with a prednisone-responsive, multifocal, demyelinating, predominantly sensory polyneuropathy that was associated with an isoleucine92valine polymorphism of lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor (LITAF). The mother had a multifocal, acquired, demyelinating sensory and motor polyneuropathy (MADSAM)-like presentation. The son developed left peroneal neuropathy during acute Lyme disease with a subsequent relapsing, MADSAM-like illness, despite antibiotic treatment. Both shared prednisone responsiveness and multifocal, demyelinating features electrophysiologically. MADSAM may be familial (FaDSAM) and respond to prednisone.
多发性、脱髓鞘表现以及泼尼松反应在遗传性运动感觉神经病(Charcot-Marie-Tooth,CMT)中罕见。我们报告了一例母子病例,其患有泼尼松反应性、多发性、脱髓鞘、以感觉为主的多发性神经病,与脂多糖诱导的肿瘤坏死因子-α因子(lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor,LITAF)的异亮氨酸 92 缬氨酸多态性相关。母亲表现为多发性获得性脱髓鞘感觉运动神经病(multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy,MADSAM)样表现。儿子在急性莱姆病时出现左侧腓总神经病,随后出现复发性、MADSAM 样疾病,尽管进行了抗生素治疗。两人均具有泼尼松反应性和多发性、脱髓鞘电生理特征。MADSAM 可能为家族性(familial,Fa),并对泼尼松有反应。
