About Peroneal Muscular Atrophy

Peroneal Muscular Atrophy, more accurately known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, is not a single procedure but a group of inherited neurological disorders affecting the peripheral nerves. A neurologist's role involves a comprehensive diagnostic and management process. This includes a detailed neurological examination, nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and often genetic testing to confirm the specific subtype. The neurologist's evaluation is crucial for distinguishing CMT from other neuropathies, assessing disease progression, and developing a personalized, multidisciplinary management plan focused on maintaining function, managing symptoms, and improving quality of life through physical therapy, orthotic support, and pain management.

Key Highlights

    Provides a definitive diagnosis to distinguish CMT from other neurological conditions.Enables personalized management and treatment planning based on the specific subtype and severity.Helps in monitoring disease progression and adjusting therapeutic strategies over time.Facilitates genetic counseling for patients and their families regarding inheritance patterns.Coordinates a multidisciplinary care approach involving physiotherapists, orthotists, and occupational therapists.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Progressive weakness and atrophy in the feet, lower legs, hands, and forearms.
  • High foot arches (pes cavus), hammertoes, or other skeletal deformities.
  • Reduced or absent deep tendon reflexes, particularly in the ankles.
  • Sensory loss, such as numbness or decreased sensation in the extremities.
  • Family history of similar neurological symptoms, suggesting a hereditary pattern.
  • Difficulty with fine motor skills, balance issues, or frequent tripping/ankle sprains.

How to prepare

  • Compile a detailed personal and family medical history, noting any relatives with similar symptoms.
  • Prepare a list of all current symptoms, including when they started and how they have progressed.
  • Bring any previous medical records, imaging studies, or test results related to the symptoms.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing to facilitate the neurological physical examination.
  • For nerve conduction studies, avoid applying lotions or oils to the skin on the day of the test.
  • Discuss any medications with the neurologist, as some can affect nerve test results.

Risks & possible complications

  • Discomfort or mild pain during nerve conduction studies or electromyography (EMG) needle insertion.
  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the EMG needle site (very rare).
  • Potential psychological impact of receiving a diagnosis of a chronic, progressive condition.
  • Anxiety related to genetic testing results and implications for family members.
  • No significant physical risks are associated with the standard diagnostic neurological evaluation itself.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • No specific recovery is needed from the diagnostic tests; patients can typically resume normal activities immediately.
  • Post-diagnosis, the focus shifts to long-term management under the neurologist's guidance.
  • Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor symptoms and functional status.
  • Implementation of a prescribed physical therapy and exercise regimen to maintain strength and flexibility.
  • Fitting and consistent use of orthotic devices (e.g., ankle-foot orthoses) as recommended.
  • Ongoing management of neuropathic pain or other symptoms with prescribed medications if needed.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 0 days (for diagnostic evaluation)

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
