RESUMEN
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. The disease consists of a spectrum of inherited disorders caused by pathogenic variants in genes, which lead to multiple different clinical phenotypes. It is one of the most common inherited neuromuscular disorders. This disease most commonly presents with symptoms of distal weakness and muscular atrophy, which then lead to foot drop and pés cavus. In this article, we describe the case of a patient who developed muscle atrophy and distal weakness over the course of his 52 years of life, leading to gait impairment and foot deformities. Subsequent investigation led to the acknowledgment of chronic axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy and genetic identification of the disease's genotype, CMT type 1.â¯.
