TI  - Hereditary neuropathy with liablity to pressure palsies.
PG  - 625-6
AB  - Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is a disease that 
      presents with recurrent reversible episodes of neurapraxia that occur typically 
      after trivial trauma. It is an autosomal dominant, demyelinating neuropathy. A 
      20-year-old man presented with left ulnar nerve palsy after a fall. He had 
      reduced two-point discrimination over his left ulnar nerve distribution, with 
      mild clawing of the ring and little fingers, and accompanying weakness of the 
      first dorsal interrosseus and abductor digiti minimi of grade four power. His 
      Froment's sign was also positive. Careful clinical examination and appropriate 
      tests, including electromyography and genetic testing, confirmed the diagnosis of 
      HNPP. This case report is presented to promote awareness and recognition of this 
      disease in the local and regional context.
