Genetically confirmed Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 2A manifesting with postural tremor: a case report
The present case describes a 34-year-old male patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth subtype 2A presenting with neuropathic postural tremor, which is a rare presentation of a common hereditary polyneuropathy. This case highlights the fact that tremors can be associated with peripheral neuropathy syndromes, and a high index of suspicion is needed to rightly diagnose our patients.
