We report a 36-year-old patient with 46XY pure gonadal dysgenesis (GD), who manifested a syndrome of progressive motor-sensory neuropathy. Sural nerve biopsy showed severe axonal neuropathy. Since reported cases of chronic motor-sensory neuropathy and pure gonadal dysgenesis have been characterized by nerve biopsy evidence of minifascicle formation, we suggest that this clinical association may be a new type of hereditary motor-sensory neuropathy, not necessarily associated with minifascicle formation.

Abstract

We report a 36-year-old patient with 46XY pure gonadal dysgenesis (GD), who manifested a syndrome of progressive motor-sensory neuropathy. Sural nerve biopsy showed severe axonal neuropathy. Since reported cases of chronic motor-sensory neuropathy and pure gonadal dysgenesis have been characterized by nerve biopsy evidence of minifascicle formation, we suggest that this clinical association may be a new type of hereditary motor-sensory neuropathy, not necessarily associated with minifascicle formation.
