A Case Report

CAPT SAMUEL L. MOSCHELLA, MC; CDR GEORGE E. WIRE, MC

Arch Dermatol. 1966;94(4):449-453.

Abstract
A case of sensory radicular neuropathy of the hereditary type is reported. This disease was described as "hereditary perforating ulcer of the foot" by Hicks in 1922, as "acropathie ulcero-mutilante familiale" by Thevenard in 1942, and as "hereditary sensory radicular neuropathy" by Denny-Brown in 1951. The patient has the striking and characteristic indolent, ulcerative, mutilatory acropathy of the feet with the underlying dissociated sensory neuropathy. A chart of the differential diagnosis of ulcerative mutilatory acropathy is presented.
