Hand involvement in Navajo neurohepatopathy: a case report.

Tahseen A Cheema1, Scott Swanson.   

Abstract

We report a case of Navajo neurohepatopathy with severe involvement of the hands. It is a progressive sensorimotor neuropathy with distal weakness, areflexia, and reduced sensation in the extremities associated with acral mutilation. The role of possible surgical intervention is demonstrated in this case.
