per·o·ne·al mus·cu·lar at·ro·phy

a generic title for at least three distinct hereditary neuromuscular disorders, all of which share the common features of pes cavis and marked wasting of the more distal portion of the limbs, particularly the peroneal muscle groups (resulting in the characteristic "stork legs"). Included in this designation are hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, type I (formerly known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth, type I, or the hypertrophic type of peroneal muscular atrophy); hereditary and motor sensory neuropathy, type II (formerly known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth, type II, or the neuronal type of peroneal muscular atrophy); and distal hereditary motor neuronopathy (formerly known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth, type III, the spinal type of peroneal muscular atrophy, or distal spinal muscular atrophy). Synonym(s): Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

peroneal muscular atrophy

n. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

per·o·ne·al mus·cu·lar at·ro·phy

(per'ŏ-nē'ăl mŭs'kyū-lăr at'rŏ-fē) A group of familial peripheral neuromuscular disorders, sharing the common feature of marked wasting of the distal parts of the limbs, particularly the peroneal muscle groups, resulting in "stork legs."
Synonym(s): Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

peroneal muscular atrophy

A rare genetic muscle disorder featuring wasting of the muscles of the extremities of the limbs. The foot and calf muscles waste leaving the upper muscles intact so that the legs come to resemble inverted bottles. The arms may be similarly affected. Progression is slow and although walking is affected, severe disability is rare. There is no effective treatment. Also known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. (Jean-Martin Charcot, 1925–93, French neurologist; Pierre Marie, 1853–1940, anatomist, neurologist, painter, sculptor and pupil of Charcot; and Howard Henry Tooth, 1856–1926 English neurologist, who described the condition independently of the Frenchmen).
