A 69-year-old woman diagnosed as having Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) for 30 years' duration died of respiratory failure secondary to diaphragmatic weakness. At autopsy, identical neuropathic changes were found in phrenic and other affected somatic peripheral nerves. We conclude that the phrenic nerve may be involved by the neuropathy of at least some forms of CMT.
一名69岁女性，被诊断患有遗传性运动感觉神经病（CMT）达30年，死于继发于膈肌无力的呼吸衰竭。尸检时，在膈神经和其他受影响的躯体周围神经中发现了相同的神经病变。我们得出结论，至少某些形式的CMT神经病变可能累及膈神经。
