LATE ONSET CHARCOT MARIE TOOTH DISEASEABSTRACTCharcot Marie Tooth’s disease (CMT) is a hereditary sensoric motoric polineuropathy. Late onset CMT are rare reported in Indonesia. A woman 48 years old has numbness in her both arm and leg gradually since 5 years ago, followed by deformities and weakness. Her cousin has the same disease. In physical examination, there were flaccid type tetraparesis, socks and gloves hypesthesia, steppage gait, pes cavus, hammer toes, thenar, hypothenar, and extensor hallucis longus muscle atrophy bilaterally. Electrophysiology studies showed mixed sensoric and motoric polineuropathy with symetrically demyelinating and uniform slowing. Management were ascorbic acid, neurotrophic, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy.Keywords: Charcot Marie Tooth, hammer toes, pes cavus, steppage gaitABSTRAKPenyakitCharcot Marie Tooth (CMT) merupakan polineuropati motorik dan sensorik herediter. Kasus CMT onset lanjut di Indonesia masih sangat jarang dilaporkan. Seorang wanita 48 tahun mengalami kesemutan pada kedua lengan dan tungkai sejak 5 tahun secara perlahan diikuti perubahan bentuk tangan dan kaki serta kelemahan. Riwayat sepupu mengalami keluhan serupa. Pemeriksaan fisik didapatkan kelemahan kedua lengan dan tungkai tipe flaksid, hipestesi pola sarung tangan dan kaos kaki, steppage gait, pes cavus, hammer toes, atrofi otot tenar, hipotenar, dan ekstensor halusis longus bilateral. Pemeriksaan elektrofisiologi didapatkan polineuropati motorik sensorik dengan demielinisasi simetris dan perlambatan kecepatan konduksi seragam. Tata laksana pasien ini menggunakan asam askorbat, neurotropik, fisioterapi, dan terapi okupasi.Kata kunci: Charcot Marie Tooth, hammer toes, pes cavus, steppage gait

Abstract Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common hereditary neuropathy with an estimated prevalence of 1 person affected on 2500. Frequent symptoms include distal weakness and muscle wasting, sensory loss, reduced deep tendon reflexes, and skeletal deformities, such as hammer toes and pes cavus. CMT is a progressive disease and patients’ needs change over their lifetime. In particular, ambulation aids are increasingly needed to maintain ambulation and reduce the risk of falls. We performed a retrospective analysis of medical records from 149 patients with confirmed CMT to evaluate patients ambulation needs related to the severity of their CMT as measured by the CMT Neuropathy Score (CMTNS) and Ambulation Index (AI). Most patients required some form of orthotics (86.6%). The CMTNS and AI scores both differed significantly between patients with no orthotics compared to those who wore insoles/inserts. The CMTNS and AI also differed significantly between patients wearing insoles and those with ankle foot orthotics (AFOs). CMTNS and the AI were valid predictors of the type and choice of the orthotics. Both the CMTNS and AI can be effective tools to aid in the correct choice of orthotics in patients affected by CMT.
